Baseline Capture for Fitbit

What is a Baseline?

A baseline is a measurement of calm for the person wearing the watch. A person’s baseline can change. That is why it is important to collect a baseline measurement at least once a day. If a baseline is captured when the person wearing the watch is agitated, stressed, or excited, the readings on the mobile app can be inaccurate.

For Fitbit watches

With previous iterations of the Awake Labs Fitbit wearable the baseline was captured thirty minutes after a watch wearer woke up or turned on their Fitbit. To give more flexibility to caregivers and the watch wearers Awake Labs has made updates to how the baseline can be captured.

For Samsung watches

No functionality is changing. The baseline will still be captured every time the watch is turned on. Remember it is important to turn the watch off and on daily for the watch to capture the baseline.

New Baseline Capture features

Scheduling daily baseline captures

You will now be able to set the time that the baseline will capture on a daily basis for each of your participants. Follow the steps below to set up a participant’s daily baseline.

  1. Open your Awake Labs mobile application

  2. Click the Hamburger menu button

  3. Click Your Account

  4. Click View connected devices

  5. Find the participant that you are updating and click the down arrow to expand the participant view

  6. Click Last baseline capture

  7. Click Schedule Time

  8. Enter the time that you wish the baseline to capture daily for this participant

  9. Click Yes to save the scheduled time

Important things to note about the scheduled time

  • When setting the scheduled time it will not take effect until the next day.

    • Example: It is 8:27 AM right now. I set the schedule time for 8:30 AM. The first time it will run for that watch wearer will be 8:30 AM tomorrow and every subsequent day at 8:30 AM.

  • The watch must be connected in order to run the baseline capture at the scheduled time.

  • The participant also must be awake and not engaging in exercise in order for the schedule baseline to run. If the participant is asleep during the scheduled time, the baseline capture will run 30 minutes after the participant has been awake.

Running immediate baseline capture

For instances where the scheduled baseline capture was taken during an inopportune time, you will now have the ability to start an immediate baseline capture for the person wearing the watch.

This might happen if the watch wearer was in a state of agitation, excitement or stress when the baseline was captured. That will make the readings innaccurate. Fortunately, you can refresh the baseline up to 4x per day!

  1. From the Baseline Capture screen click the Refresh baseline button

  2. A pop-up will appear indicating how many immediate baseline captures this participant has left today, click Yes to run the baseline capture right now

  3. A screen will appear letting you know that the baseline will be captured for this participant

  4. Exit Connected Devices and click Home for the watch wearer. If their watch is connected, it will show the baseline being captured

  5. Once the baseline capture has been completed you can go back to the Your connected devices screen to see the Last baseline capture date and time have been updated

Important things to note about the immediate baseline capture

  • Each watch wearer can only have 4 immediate baseline captures each day. Once the fourth capture has been completed, the next time a capture can occur is the next day.

  • The watch must be connected in order to run the baseline capture immediately

  • There is a 30 minute period before and after the scheduled baseline capture where an immediate baseline capture will not be allowed

  • There is a 30 minute period after an immediate baseline capture has completed where another immediate baseline capture will not be allowed

Messaging when an immediate baseline capture cannot be executed
