What Are Biometric Monitoring Care Programs?
Though similar to clinical care programs in the sense that the care program is delivered via the member checklist over time, biometric monitoring care programs serve a different function. They are designed to help members monitor and identify trends for specific biometric health data readings like blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight.
Each biometric monitoring care program includes a specific health tracker graph to facilitate tracking and visualizing trends over time. The trackers are also known as widgets. Members can see the widgets on the Progress tab in their app.
As a Care Manager, you also have access to these graphs via the Member Profile in the dashboard.
- Access the Member Profile.
- On the bottom left of the profile, select Member Activity.
A graphical representation for each biometric program in which the member is enrolled displays. - (Optional) Select List to switch to a List View.
How Members Enter Biometric Readings
Members enter biometric readings from the survey task on their daily checklist. For blood glucose, members on iOS and Android can also sync readings directly from their connected health platform, reducing manual entry.
iOS: Apple Health
- On eligible blood glucose survey questions, a Sync readings option displays beneath the entry field.
- Members grant Apple Health permissions through the system prompt.
- Selecting Sync readings displays the member’s blood glucose readings from Apple Health for selection.
Android: Google Health Connect
- On eligible blood glucose survey questions, a Sync readings button displays beneath the entry field.
- Members grant Health Connect permissions the first time they reach a relevant survey question. A permission education dialog displays before the system permission prompt.
- Selecting Sync readings displays a list of blood glucose readings from Health Connect, with the most recent reading at the top.
- Selecting a reading populates the survey response along with the reading timestamp and data source.
- Members can manage Health Connect permissions at any time from the Blood Glucose section in the app Settings.
Note: Health Connect syncing requires a supported Android OS version with Google Health Connect installed. Eligibility is determined by the member profile and a system setting. For other biometrics (blood pressure, weight, peak flow, pain), members continue to enter readings manually.

Assigning a Biometric Monitoring Care Program
Biometric monitoring care programs are assigned the same way as any other care program. We recommend adding a biometric monitoring care program as a supplement to relevant clinical care programs. When assigning a biometric care program in conjunction with a relevant care program, we have seen:
- Increased engagement in a member’s first 30 days
- Better retention in chronic disease programs when compared to members without a biometric monitoring program.
For instance, if a member is enrolled in a weight management program, you should also assign one of the weight management biometric monitoring care programs to ensure they can track and visualize their progress within the mobile app.
