Frequently asked questions

We're here to help with any questions you have about devices compatible with Labfront. Don't hesitate to contact us at support@labfront.com.

How do I get started with Labfront?
down arrow

We recommend creating a free account first to test out the features of the platform. You can create a project and invite participants to join in minutes. Check out the full guide on getting started in our Help Center.

Where can I buy devices?
down arrow

Once you’ve selected a wearable from our list of compatible devices, you can purchase directly from Movesense or Garmin, or you can contact us via support@labfront.com and we’ll be happy to guide you through the buying process. You'll also be eligible for a device discount.

Are there any discounts available?
down arrow

There sure are! Our partnerships with Garmin and Movesense gives Labfront users access to select discounts. If you want to buy devices in bulk for a discount, please contact us at support@labfront.com. We also suggest taking a look at our Partner Perks page.

Which devices are compatible with Labfront?
down arrow

Labfront is currently compatible with select Garmin, Movesense and Dexcom devices, but we plan to add more devices in the near future. Check our full list of compatible devices.

Can I use one device for more than one participant?
down arrow

Yes, the same device can be used with multiple participants in a study. However, with regards to participant count, every new participant that is created to collect data in Labfront counts as one participant. For example, if you use 10 participants on one device, it would count as 10 participants.

How accurate are Garmin devices for measuring heart rate, Sp02 or other physiological data? 
down arrow

Garmin devices have been used successfully for physiological data collection across many different types of research projects, including clinical trials. As with any wearable sensor, the quality of data collection depends on the amount of extra signal noise. Device fit, device usage, and motion intensity all affect the resulting accuracy.
