      You can keep track of how many participants you're able to add at the top of your dashboard. Free Accounts have a 5-participant limit. To invite more than 5 participants to a project you'll need a Basic or Advanced Account.  Contact support@labfront.com and we'll be happy to help.

       
      4. Ask participants to follow the steps below to join your project:
      a) Download the Labfront Companion app, available on Android and iOS
      b) Enter their Invite Code on the app
      c) Follow the app instructions to set up their device

      The participant's experience of getting set up will vary according to your data source:

      Participant Adherence

      One of Labfront’s most valuable features is the ability to remotely monitor your participants. At any time, you can check if participants have connected with your project, tasks have been completed, and physiological data is being collected. 

      Using the Adherence Dashboard to Monitor Adherence

      The Adherence dashboard shows important information regarding participants' data collection. View which types of data your participants are successfully collecting, what tasks they are completing, and when they were last on the app. It’s a great tool to track adherence and make timely interventions.
