Where the Care App and Care Portal are mentioned, the articles in the Support Center refer to both the Academic & Basic Research Plan (Care Lab App and Care Lab Portal) and the enterprise Plan (Care App and Care Portal), unless indicated otherwise.
Participants can login to the Care App by scanning the credential QR code. The following requirements should be met in order to scan the QR code:
- The smartphone has a functional camera.
- The Care App has access to the camera in the companion device’s Operating System settings.
BYOD Steps to allow camera access to the Care App might be different for each companion device. This is the general path:
- android Settings > App Settings > Care > Permissions > Camera
- ios Settings > Care > Camera toggle
In case of the QR code still not working, try logging in by using the ‘Participant Identifier’ and ‘Password’ credentials. If the login works with the password, there might be a problem with the QR code.
