Using Family Mode
How can I use Family Mode?
Family Mode allows other Cardiogram users to view your data remotely and check your cardiovascular health. If you share your access code with someone else, they can see your heart rate patterns and trends on their device.
Only the family member who is being monitored needs a Cardiogram subscription to share their family code.
Heart rate alerts are not delivered to family members.
Due to how syncing works, real-time monitoring is not currently possible. Data is generally synced from a user’s wearable to their wearable app (Apple Watch to Apple Health, Garmin to Garmin Connect, etc.) and then from that app to Cardiogram.
WearOS and Samsung Galaxy Watch devices: data will be sent in 15-minute batches from the user’s Cardiogram app on their watch directly to Cardiogram on their phone. Furthermore, the user must have Cardiogram open and running in the background on their watch to allow it to take measurements.
Sharing With Another User
- To share your data with someone, ensure they have the Cardiogram app installed on their device.
