The Care Lab Portal is one of the software components of the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform. It is web-based, and can be accessed from the most common internet browsers.
The Care Lab Portal allows users to:
- Manage participants
- Create Participant IDs and generate credentials to login to the Care Lab App
- View and manage the participant status
- Monitor participants' digital biomarkers
- View and monitor participants’ wearing time
- View and monitor the data flow and digital biomarkers
- View and download data Access Keys
- Data Access Keys are your credentials for accessing and downloading raw sensor and digital biomarker data from the AWS S3 bucket
- Manage study staff
- Invite staff members
- Revoke staff access
- Modify staff access level
- Access helpful documentation such as support and regulatory documents
It is important that you create your Care Lab Portal account before starting data collection so you can choose the Empatica Wearable's sensor configuration and generate participant credentials used for logging participants into the Care Lab App.
Make sure that you check this step-by-step guide on the setup and use of the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform.
Only accounts created through the Login page (Sign up) come with a study. Care Lab accounts created due to Staff invites do not come with their own study.
