Getting Started

To get started, first download the Health Connect App by Myia. On an Android phone please visit the following link to the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myialabs.app
On an Apple phone please visit the following link to the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/health-connect-by-myia/id1360043948
Minimum Requirements for usage are:
  • Android device with Android OS version 9 or higher
  • iOS (Apple) device with iOS version 10 or higher
Once downloaded and installed, please open the app by tapping on the Health Connect App icon on your respective device.

When the Health Connect App opens each patient will need to enter a unique 6-digit Global Enrollment Code that must be provided by the care organization. This code is not case sensitive.

Once the code is entered the Health Connect App immediately directs to the home screen. 
Important: If the Health Connect App is ever removed from a device it will require a new Global Enrollment Code from the care organization to re-install.
Text/SMS Invite Option:  Care organizations may elect to deliver patients the app download link and the Global Enrollment Code via a Text Message (SMS Message).  If the care organization chooses this method, the patient’s profile with an active cell phone number must be entered by care providers in the Myia Admin Panel in advance.
Once an SMS invite is received, first tap the link in the message. The user will be redirected to the app download page.  Depending on your device, follow the INSTALL / GET steps on that device.  
Android:
Apple iOS:
When app download is complete, open the app from the device's home-screen, or directly from the app center.  The Enter Activation Code screen should be the first screen displayed.  Enter the code contained in the text message.  
Note: The final character of the code automatically accepts the entry.  There is no ‘submit’ or ‘enter’ button after entering the code.  When successful the app will display the Home Screen.  If the care organization chooses, a confirmation text may also be sent.

Home Screen

Contact Banner

At the top of the screen there is an optional banner that provides instructions on how to contact a care team. If a number is included in this section it also acts as a button to initiate a phone call directly. 

After Hours Banner

This banner can be displayed by a care organization during off-hours. This is to inform and remind patients that live monitoring is not occuring. The exact hours of operation and/or an after hours contact number may also be displayed.

Surveys

If a survey is sent to patients it will display on the home page.  Patients need to tap ‘Get Started’ to enter each new survey.  There are many survey types available including daily-health, new symptoms and patient satisfaction.  Each care organization chooses which surveys a patient will receive and when.

  • Blood Pressure
  • Blood Oxygen
  • Heart Rate (this row is NOT a button) 
  • Weight
  • Blood Sugar
  • Temperature
All vital signs are entered manually by patients from peripheral devices which the patient already owns or are provided by the care team.

Tips and Troubleshooting

If you call our toll-free number (1-800-991-4352) from a different phone, we'll route you to your team of Support experts.

Peripheral Device Tips

Blood Pressure Tips
  • Plug the connector on the cuff into the monitor.
  • Position the cuff:
    • Open the cuff and loosen fully. 
    • Orient the cuff so that the tube exits towards the hand.
    • Place your arm through the cuff loop, with your palm facing up.
    • Position the cuff’s edge about an inch (2-3 cm) above the elbow.
    • Align the Ф marker (located to the right of tube exit) with the center of your arm.
    • Tighten the cuff evenly around your arm by pulling on the end — make sure the Ф marker stays aligned with the center of your arm.
    • Wrap the end of the cuff over your arm to secure it in place. Don’t make it too tight — allow a finger to fit between the cuff and your arm’ 
  • Rest for at least 5 minutes, sitting upright with your feet flat on the floor, your back supported, and your cuffed arm resting on a table or chair arm.
  • Press the START/STOP button on the monitor to turn it on. Wait for the device to turn on and perform the measurement while the cuff inflates.
  • Replace the batteries with four new AA batteries. 
  • Check that the placement of the cuff is correct.
  • Make sure there are no kinks in the tubing.
  • Limit movement while taking your reading.
  • Ensure the cuff is not too tight, but not too loose. We recommend the ability to place two fingers under the cuff when it is tightened in most cases.

Pulse Oximeter: 
  • Make sure hands are warm enough for reading to be obtained.
  • Verify hand placement based on the manufacturer's recommendation.
  • Try additional fingers or switch hands.
  • Make sure the pulse oximeter is upright with the screen visible.
  • Make sure no nail polish / acrylics are affecting the reading.
  • The patient should be resting their hand on their lap or on a table during reading with no intense movements.
  • Remove / replace batteries and attempt another reading.
  • Wait 24 hours, attempt another reading.

Scale
  • Remove your shoes and excess clothing (e.g., jackets, scarves etc.) before stepping on the scale.
  • Check your weight after you have used the bathroom and before eating a meal.
  • Keep the scale in the same location and make sure it is placed on a hard and flat surface (do not place the scale on a carpet or mat).
  • Remain still and distribute your weight evenly on both feet during your measurement.
  • Wait for an indication that the scale has finished weighing based on the manufacturer's instructions.

Smartphone Tips

Slow Phone
Clean your cell phone by closing or /deleting apps, files, and clear the cache data. If you recently installed an app and your phone is not working well, you should uninstall it and see if your mobile phone runs faster. If this does not help you, we recommend saving important information on Google Drive, Dropbox or just on your computer. Then, you can restore your cell phone to factory data. 


Bad Battery Life
You should try to dim the screen brightness and turn off the GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth if you are not using them. You can also enable the Battery Saving Mode and see if your battery lasts longer. Additionally, you should check your Battery Usage in your phone Settings and see which apps are using more battery. You can close or disable the ones that are draining more battery if you usually do not need them. 


Full Storage Space
When you have filled up your storage space, your cell phone tends to respond slowly. The possible solutions for this problem are the same: try to delete those files and apps that you do not use anymore, you can also delete old calls and text messages and clean the cache data. Try to transfer those files you would like to keep with you on an online cloud or buy a microSD card to save that valuable information in a safe place. 
App Crashes / Freezes
The first thing you should try is to restart your cell phone and start using the app again. You can also go to the App Manager and stop the app, sometimes cleaning the cache data also works. If it continues doing the same, try to uninstall the app and install it again. 
Phone Freezes
This is a common problem in old phones or devices with full storage space. We recommend restarting your cell phone, or turn it OFF and ON. When this does not work, we normally remove the phone battery and everything goes back to normal. However, some modern phones do not have this option because their batteries cannot be removed. Common restart methods include:
Apple (iOS8 and higher)
  • Click Volume Up once
  • Click Volume Down once
  • Hold the Power key for 15 seconds.
Samsung (9 and higher)
  • Press the Power key  + Volume Down key at the same time for 15 seconds  or until the Samsung Logo appears.
Apps Not Downloading
Try cleaning the apps cache and you can also clean the history of Google Play and Google Play Services. Remember to restart your cell phone after doing that and try again to download the app you want.
