Connecting a Device
Review the instructions on connecting a device on this page.
Make sure the HealthBridge app is always in the foreground or background on the phone and that it has not been “swiped” closed.
Make sure the device is close to the phone or tablet. Bluetooth has a range of about 30ft/10m, but this can also be affected by thick walls and other electronics. It is best to keep the phone right next to the device.
Only pair your device to the HealthBridge app. Do NOT pair it to the manufacturer’s app.
Make sure
Have the phone set to allow data to be transmitted when on a cellular connection, not just Wifi.
- Make sure
you don’t have the peripheral’s vendor app on your phone as well. Bluetooth only allows one BLE connection at a time, and trying to pair the peripheral with the vendor app and HealthBridge can cause unneeded issues.
Make sure that Bluetooth pairing is always enabled on the phone.
Have the phone set to allow data to be transmitted when on a cellular connection, not just Wifi.
Recently a clinician noted that she uses the troubleshooting step of asking the patient to close HealthBridge completely on their phone by swiping it away and then asking them to open HealthBridge back up. She said that often resolves issues and results in past readings loading in the app.
If issues pairing the device to HealthBridge is encountered, taking the batteries out of the device, waiting a few minutes, and then adding them again is a useful troubleshooting step. This is a hard reset on the device. Attempt pairing with the device after this step is taken.
If none of the above suggestions resolved your issue, unpair the device from HealthBridge and then repair the device with HealthBridge. Test again at that point. See below steps if you are unsure how to accomplish this
