The Complete Biomapa Manual
Welcome to Biomapa, your smart health hub. It brings together in one place your lab results, body composition (bioimpedance), imaging reports, meals (a photo of your plate), water, data from watches and fitness bands (wearables), medications and your training (a plan built by AI or imported from your spreadsheet, sets, the rest timer and a coach that suggests the load for your next session). Artificial intelligence reads your documents, and Biomapa organizes everything into easy-to-read charts and cross-checks one source against another - labs with medications, meals, your watch, workouts, body composition and imaging reports. These cross-checks are the insights, and they're calculated by fixed rules, not written by AI. AI comes in to read your documents and meal photos, to build your training plan and to write your weekly coach review. In the United States, you use Biomapa in the app, on iPhone and Android. This manual explains, step by step and in plain language, everything Biomapa does. Important: Biomapa organizes your data and helps you understand it, but it doesn't replace a visit, a diagnosis or advice from a health professional.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Biomapa in Claude or ChatGPT?
In Claude, yes, with Premium: in Claude, open Settings > Connectors, tap "Add custom connector", paste the address https://www.biomapa.app.br/api/mcp, tap Connect, sign in with your Biomapa account and tap Allow. Claude only reads your data (it doesn't save anything), and you can disconnect anytime in Profile > Privacy and data > AI connectors. ChatGPT isn't supported yet.
How do I create a Biomapa account?
In the app: download Biomapa from the App Store or Google Play, tap "Don't have an account? Create one", choose "Personal profile", fill in your name, email, password (at least 8 characters), height, year of birth and sex, confirm that you're 18 or older, check the 3 required consents and tap "Create account". You're signed in right away; next, start your 3-day free trial of Premium on the subscription screen.
Is there a free plan?
No. Every new account needs Premium, which starts with a 3-day free trial for people who have never subscribed. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing; after that, Premium costs $10.99 a month or $59.99 a year.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
On the sign-in screen, tap "I forgot my password", enter your email and send it. You'll get a link by email; open it, set a new password (at least 8 characters), confirm it and you're done. The link opens in your browser, and after resetting you go back to the app to sign in with the new password. If the link expires, just request a new one.
I can't sign in even with the right password. What could it be?
Check your email and password - when in doubt, use "I forgot my password" to reset it. Your account may also be pending or blocked (you'll see a message that your access was denied). If you're unsure, contact support on WhatsApp.
Is my health data safe?
Yes. Biomapa asks for consent by purpose and restricts access to each person's own data. You can export or delete everything at any time. Sexually transmitted infection results (such as HIV, hepatitis and syphilis) are discarded automatically and never stored. The Privacy Policy and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explain how your data is handled and how to reach us.
Does Biomapa share my data with advertisers?
Only with your OK, and never your health data. In the U.S., the first time you open the app, Biomapa asks "Can we measure our ads?". If you allow it, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and Google learn that this phone installed and opened the app, created an account, started a free trial or subscribed, along with your device's advertising ID, your IP address and a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email - and nothing else. If you don't allow it, nothing is sent to them. You can change your answer anytime in Profile > Privacy and data.
Can I use pounds and feet, or the metric system?
Both. Biomapa uses pounds, feet and inches, miles and fluid ounces by default. To switch, go to Profile, Units, and choose Metric (or Imperial to switch back). Your records don't change - only how they're shown.
Does my iPhone get Biomapa notifications?
Yes, in the app: when you sign in, allow notifications and you'll start getting push notifications (including medication reminders), even with the app closed.
How do I connect my watch or fitness band?
Turn on the Integrations consent and, on Home, tap the Connections card. On Android, connect Health Connect - it gathers what Samsung Health, Garmin and similar apps save on the phone - and, if you have it, Samsung Health. On iPhone, connect Apple Health. Strava connects in the same panel.
My watch isn't listed. Do I need a connection just for my brand?
No. Garmin, Polar, Oura, Fitbit, Samsung and similar brands come in through your phone's system: in the brand's app, turn on syncing with Health Connect (Android) or with the Health app (iPhone), and Biomapa reads from there. If nothing shows up, the problem is usually that sync being off in the brand's app, or a permission denied on the phone.
Why did my sync bring in 0 days?
It's usually permissions or no data in the period. Check that you allowed reading activity, sleep and heart rate on the Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone) screen, and that there's recent data on the phone. If it keeps happening, contact support.
What does Premium include?
Everything: meal photos and documents read by AI with no monthly limit, your full history, the Wellness Index, insights, the training coach with AI plans and the weekly review, the PDF report and the Biomapa connector for Claude, which lets Claude read your data to answer your questions. Every new account starts with a 3-day free trial of Premium.
How do I subscribe to Premium?
In the app: right after you create your account the subscription screen opens, and you can also get there from Profile, in your plan card, with "See plans". Choose monthly or yearly, tap the plan's button and confirm through the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android). Either way, you get 3 free days before the first charge. The website doesn't sell subscriptions.
How many training plans can I build with AI?
With Premium, including the 3-day free trial, as many as you want, with body photos if you like. Importing your spreadsheet works the same way. The rest of the training coach comes with it: the coach of the day, logging sets, the rest timer, load reviews, badges and the weekly review.
How do I cancel my subscription?
In Profile, tap "Manage / cancel subscription": it opens your subscription in the store where you bought it, the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android, and you cancel the renewal there. Since there are 3 free days before the first charge, if you cancel during the trial you don't pay anything. After the trial, when you cancel, your access continues until the end of the period you already paid for.
How does the free trial work? Can I get a refund?
Premium starts with 3 free days: cancel during the trial and you're not charged. After the trial, billing is normal and, when you cancel, access continues until the end of the period you already paid for. Refunds for purchases made through the App Store or Google Play follow the store's rules; for specific situations, contact support.
How do I upload a lab test, and what does the AI extract?
On the Labs tab, tap "+ Upload", choose a PDF or photo and tap "Process with AI". The AI extracts the lab, the collection date, the panel and the list of biomarkers with values, units, reference ranges and status. Sexually transmitted infection results are discarded for privacy.
Can I upload a checkup that has everything in one PDF?
Yes. On the Labs tab, tap "Checkup" and send the PDF. The AI automatically splits it into blood tests, body composition and imaging reports, and puts each part in the right place.
How do I set up medication reminders?
On the Meds tab, add the medication (or send the prescription), expand it, open Reminders and turn it on. Choose how often (every day, weekly or monthly), the day (if needed) and the times. Reminders arrive by push notification, even with the app closed.
Do reminders work with the app closed?
Yes. Reminders are sent by push notification from our server, at your local time, so they arrive even with the app closed - as long as Biomapa notifications are on in your phone's settings.
How do I export my data?
In the app, go to Profile > Privacy and data and tap "Export my data". On the website, signing in shows "Export (CSV)" and "Export (JSON)". The file includes your profile, lab results, body composition, wearable data, activities, medications, meals, water, cycle and imaging reports.
How do I permanently delete my account?
In the app, go to Profile > Privacy and data, tap "Delete my account" and confirm twice. Everything is deleted permanently and can't be undone, and you're signed out. Export your data first if you want to keep it. If you subscribe to Premium through the App Store or Google Play, the subscription isn't canceled with the account: cancel the renewal in the store (the app warns you and offers to open the subscription).
Are insights written by artificial intelligence?
No. Insights are calculated by fixed rules from your data. The main insight is a topic: a card about one subject, such as your liver or cholesterol, that links what your labs, medications, meals, watch, workouts, body composition and imaging reports say about it. AI reads your documents; the insights and the links between them come from the rules.
Does Biomapa give a medical diagnosis?
No. Biomapa organizes your data and creates summaries and insights for information only. They help you understand your health better, but they don't replace a visit, a diagnosis or a prescription. Always talk to your doctor.
How many meal photos can I send per month?
With Premium, there's no monthly limit on meal photos or on documents read by AI (lab tests, imaging reports, checkups, body composition and prescriptions). You can also always log a meal by typing the foods, and the food search has no limit.
Can I use Biomapa on the website?
In the United States, Biomapa works in the app, on iPhone and Android. If you sign in on the website with your account, you'll see a page with links to the App Store and Google Play, where you can also sign out, export your data, delete your account and change your ad measurement answer.
Does Biomapa work without internet?
Yes, in the app. What you've already opened with internet (lab results, meals, training, measurements, medications) is kept in a copy on your phone and keeps showing without a connection, and the meal photos you've already seen are kept too. Without internet you can also log almost everything: your workout (sets, finishing it, runs and editing the plan), meals (typed, from the food database, which is kept entirely on your phone, and from favorites, plus editing and deleting), water, cycle, body measurements, activities, medications and reminders, profile and goals, and deletions. Everything is saved on the phone and uploads by itself when the connection comes back. A meal photo taken offline becomes a meal right away, marked "Photo waiting for analysis", and the AI calculates the values when you're back online; lab tests, imaging reports, prescriptions and body composition reports sent offline are also saved and read when the connection returns. In Profile, the "Device backup" card shows when the copy on your phone is from, how many records are waiting to upload (with an "Upload now" button) and the result of each file read by AI. The reminder for a medication added offline starts after it uploads. You still need internet to subscribe and to build, save or remove a training plan. Your data stays stored on Biomapa's servers; the copy on your phone is deleted when you sign out on that phone, and if there's a record that hasn't uploaded yet, the app warns you first.
How do I contact support?
On WhatsApp: in the app, the icon is at the top of the Home screen. An AI support assistant answers questions about the product there, and suggestions go through it too: it passes them to the team. For sensitive matters or bugs, the conversation goes to a person. The support email is biomapa@biomapa.app.br.
How long is the meal photo kept?
60 days. After that, the image is deleted automatically and the meal stays complete: calories, macronutrients and the items identified. This keeps the image storage under control without losing what matters for tracking.
Where do the food numbers come from?
From the USDA FoodData Central database, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Search by the food's name (for example "rice" or "chicken breast"), and each result shows where its numbers came from. Portions are in grams, with ounces shown alongside.
What's the deficit or surplus on the Meals screen?
It's the difference between what your watch or phone measured you burned that day and what you ate. A deficit (green) means you burned more than you ate; a surplus (red), the other way around. Calories Burned adds up your Basal Metabolic Rate (what your body burns at rest), Movement Outside Workouts (walking, climbing stairs, chores) and your logged Activities. Without a calorie burn measurement for the day, the block doesn't appear.
How do I change my calorie and macro goals?
On the Meals tab, tap any of the carb, protein or fat rings: it opens the editor for the four goals. What you save applies to every day and also shows in Profile.
I want to log yesterday's meal. How do I do it?
Go to that day with the arrows next to the date (or tap the date to open the calendar) and log it as usual. Everything you add goes into the day open on the screen, with the time filled in automatically.
My watch's scale reading replaced my clinic's bioimpedance. Can I choose which one counts?
Yes. On the Body tab, use the arrows to open the right measurement and tap "Use this measurement for insights and BMR". From then on, that's the one feeding the insights, the basal metabolic rate and the cards, even if your watch syncs another one later. The full history stays in the charts.
The app says there's an update. Do I need to do anything?
It depends on the notice. "Improvements downloaded" is an improvement the app downloaded by itself: tap "Apply and restart" and Biomapa reopens from the start in a few seconds, already updated. It works the same on Android and iPhone. If you tap "Not now", the improvement applies the next time you fully close the app and open it again. During an open workout this notice doesn't show, so it doesn't interrupt your session. A card showing a new version with the store's name asks you to update through the store itself: tap the button to open Google Play (on Android) or the App Store (on iPhone) and update there.
Glossary
- Badge
- Recognition of a period already completed within your goal: a day, week or month of calories, the day's balance, the day's protein or a training milestone. It's saved on the day you earned it.
- Calories burned
- The sum of your basal metabolic rate, your movement outside workouts and the day's activities, measured by your watch or phone. It's the number Biomapa compares with what you ate to tell whether the day closed in a deficit or a surplus.
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
- What your body burns at rest, just to stay alive. It's one of the parts of your calories burned.
- Bioimpedance
- A method that estimates your body composition (weight, fat, muscle mass, water and more) using a mild electrical current, used by smart scales and devices like InBody.
- Biomarker
- Each result measured in a lab test (for example cholesterol, glucose or hemoglobin), with a value, a unit and a reference range that shows whether it's normal.
- Wearable
- A device you wear, like a smartwatch or fitness band, that measures steps, sleep, heart rate and other activity metrics.
- VO₂ max
- A measure of your body's ability to use oxygen during exercise; an indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness, associated with longevity.
- Health Connect
- Android's hub for health data, where apps like Samsung Health, Garmin Connect and Fitbit save data that Biomapa can read with your permission.
- Apple Health
- The Health app on iPhone, where your Apple Watch and other apps save health data that Biomapa can read with your permission.
- Just-in-time consent
- A permission request that appears at the exact moment you try to use a feature that needs it (such as connecting wearables), with the options to authorize or cancel.
- Ad measurement
- Letting ad platforms (Meta, TikTok and Google) know that the app was installed and opened, an account was created, a trial started or a subscription began, so Biomapa knows which ads work. In the U.S., it only happens with your OK, and your health data is never shared.
- Push notification
- A notification sent by our server to the app on your phone, which arrives even with the app closed, as long as you've allowed notifications.
- OTA
- Short for "over-the-air": app updates delivered automatically, without downloading a new version from the store, for quick fixes and improvements.
- Wellness Index
- A personal tracking score from 0 to 100 calculated from your lab results, body composition, activity and nutrition, with a breakdown of what raises or lowers it. It is not a medical assessment, diagnosis or prediction of disease risk.
- Insight
- A card calculated by Biomapa's fixed rules, not by AI. The main one is the topic, which links data from different areas (labs, medications, meals, your watch, workouts, body composition and imaging reports) into something that needs attention, something to keep an eye on or something that's going well; the Records cards describe each area's data. Always for information only.
