  • Only pair your device to the HealthBridge app. Do NOT pair it to the manufacturer’s app.

    • 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.

  • 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.

  • Turn the phone off, wait long enough for the phone to completely close, wait a few more seconds, and reboot the phone. Sometimes just restarting a phone will help to resolve some issues with Bluetooth connectivity.

  • Deleting the HealthBridge app, adding it to your phone again, and logging in with the previous user as noted in the second bullet point in this link is a good troubleshooting step.

  • See this section if you have worked through these steps and are still encountering an issue.
