How the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform works

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is a full-stack research suite built on the capabilities of EmbracePlus and entirely created in-house, with a dedicated software and cloud infrastructure designed for your real-world and academic research needs.

EmbracePlus

EmbracePlus continuously measures and records physiological parameters, which are sent via Bluetooth® to a dedicated mobile app

Care Lab App

The Care Lab App uses the phone’s internet connection to automatically transfer all data to the Empatica Cloud

Empatica Cloud

The Cloud securely stores data and makes it available for review inside the dedicated portal, or for immediate access via direct download

Care Lab Portal

The Care Portal allows you to manage your studies and access your data and digital biomarkers

What our users have to say

Empatica provides raw data for several days so I can monitor the physiological subjects continuously, during daily life. The major advantage is the possibility of managing several subjects at the same time.

Francesca Gasparini

Professor University of Milano-Bicocca

We stand to get better quality data with the EmbracePlus because we can get more personalization options to wear it correctly.

Matthew Goodwin

Professor Northeastern University

EmbracePlus is a comfortable device with which you can collect raw and fully accessible data.

Dr Nele De Witte

Digital Mental Health researcher Thomas More University of Applied Sciences

It is really one of the few solutions that would allow recording of this kind of data.

John Barrow

Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education University of Aberdeen

How can I make a purchase?

To place an order, we recommend using our online store to buy your hardware and software package for smaller studies, requiring 30 devices or fewer. Volume discounts are available from 5 devices and up and are automatically applied upon checkout. If your study requires a larger number of devices, reach out to our team for a more bespoke solution. Our team will contact you via email as soon as possible.

Each bundle includes one EmbracePlus and access to the Care Lab App, Care Portal, and Empatica Cloud for 3 or 5 years.

What are the compatible smartphones? Is it possible to connect more than one EmbracePlus to one companion device?

You can find the list of smartphones compatible with our system on our EmbracePlus Smartphone Compatibility Page . If your Android device is not listed, you can start a connectivity self-test with the Nordic App® to check if the following requirements are met:

OS as specified on EmbracePlus Smartphone Compatibility Page
Bluetooth® 5.0 with 2M PHY

Please note that it is not possible to connect multiple EmbracePlus to one companion device.

How will I access the data collected?

All collected data can be securely and directly downloaded from the Care Portal.

Can I stream real-time data?

EmbracePlus continuously collects data and allows you to view it inside the Care Portal. However, this data is not viewable in real-time. This means you cannot stream data live, but you can still view historical, timestamped data.

Do you provide an SDK?

We do not provide an SDK for academic research purposes.
