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.
There are different ways to retrieve the participant credentials to log into the Care App. This is based on the different use cases for which the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform can be used:
enterprise plan No access to Care Portal
Depending on the Organization or Study configuration, research and healthcare professionals may receive the Participant login credentials in advance from Empatica directly via email. Check internally within the Organization to see if the Care App credentials for the participants have already been received.
If, upon checking, the credentials have not been received, reach out to the Empatica Support Team (research-support@empatica.com) to receive a new set of credentials.
