Search for the target patient by using the search bar at the top of your ThoroughCare dashboard. Enter patient's First Name, Last Name, or EHR ID.

Once the search page loads, click the patient's Name or EHR ID.

Navigate to the patient's "Devices" tab.

Next to the "Provider Registered Devices" table title, select "Add a Device":

This will bring up an "Add a New Device" pop-up. Notice there are two fields offered in order to add a device.

Note: Adding a Fitbit does not require a "Device ID" so once the Fitbit device option is selected the "Device ID" will disappear.

Click the "Device Type" drop-down. Select the "Fitbit" option from the list of devices that are shown.

Once the "Device Type" is selected click the "Save" button.

By clicking "Save", ThoroughCare will automatically take the user to a new window that allows them to enter the patient's "Email" and "Password" for their Fitbit device.

Note: If you have bought the Fitbit Device for the patient, it may be easier for the user to create a username and password for the patient. This should be set up before giving the device to the patient.

Once, the user has entered the patient's Fitbit username and password they will be shown a "Patient Monitoring" page. Here the user consents to allowing ThoroughCare to use the numbers highlighted below.

Click the checkbox next to the data options that the patient would like to track. Click the box next to "Allow All" to allow all numbers listed to be tracked.

When finished select the "Allow" button in the bottom right-hand corner.

If you were taken to a page similar to the one shown below you have successfully added the Fitbit device!

Navigate back to the patient's "Devices" tab on the patient view page. Notice that the "Date of 1st Reading" and "Last Measured At" show a "N/A". This just means the device has not yet transmitted a reading. Give Fitbit 24 hours to connect before contacting support.

Note: Because Fitbit transmits its data via Bluetooth, the patient must have the Fitbit connected to a device that can pick up a Bluetooth signal, such as a mobile phone. Have the patient log into their Fitbit account from their device in order to transmit data.

Once a reading has been received from the device, the "Date of 1st Reading" and "Last Measured At" fields will update:

To view the patient's readings click the Clinical Data tab and navigate to the Vitals section:

The Vitals section will show all recently recorded measurements since the device has been connected to ThoroughCare.
