inTruth Download and Pairing Instructions
Before you begin, please ensure you have a Biostrap device, as our current alpha version exclusively supports this hardware.
Please Uninstall Vital Science
Currently, our system does not support the simultaneous use of “Vital Science” and the “inTruth” alpha app. This is because once one app downloads data from the Biostrap device, it clears the data from the device.
Action Required: To prevent any interference and data loss during your participation in the inTruth testing:
- Uninstall the Vital Science app from your device.
- Rest assured, all your existing Vital Science data is safely stored with your account and will be accessible once you reinstall the app.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we strive to enhance your experience with our technologies.
