Getting started with Biomapa

Biomapa is a health platform that brings your data together and helps you make sense of it. You take a photo of your plate to log the calories and macronutrients of a meal, upload lab results and other documents, connect your activity devices and then see everything organized in dashboards, trend charts and reports you can share.

What you can bring into Biomapa

1. 1Lab results (complete blood count, cholesterol, glucose, and also stool and urine tests), uploaded as a PDF or photo, from any lab.
2. 2Body composition from bioimpedance (weight, body fat, muscle mass, body water and more).
3. 3Imaging reports (ultrasound, CT, MRI, X-ray, mammogram, bone density).
4. 4Meals: take a photo of your plate and the AI estimates the calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat) of the meal - and you track the day's water in the Water card on Home.
5. 5Wearable data (steps, sleep, heart rate, calories, VO₂ max) through Health Connect and Samsung Health (Android), Apple Health (iPhone) and Strava.
6. 6Your training: a plan built by AI or imported from your spreadsheet, logged set by set, with a rest timer and a coach that suggests the load for your next session.
7. 7Medications, with reminders to take them on time.

Where to use it

In the United States, Biomapa works in the app, on iPhone and Android. If you sign in on the website, you'll see a page that sends you to the app, where everything happens; that page also lets you sign out, export your data or delete your account.

Biomapa shows weight in pounds, height in feet and inches, distance in miles and water in fluid ounces. If you prefer the metric system, switch to Metric in Profile, under Units.

Create your account

1. 1You sign up in the app. Download Biomapa from the App Store or Google Play, open it and tap "Don't have an account? Create one".
2. 2Choose the "Personal profile" account type.
3. 3Enter your name, email and a password (at least 8 characters).
4. 4Fill in your height (in feet and inches) and year of birth (recommended, but they can stay blank) and select your sex (Male or Female) - sex is required for personal profiles.
5. 5Confirm that you're 18 or older and check the 3 required consents: Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and the health data authorization.
6. 6If you'd like, authorize connecting your devices (wearables) right away. You can also do it later, the first time you connect one.
7. 7Tap "Create account".
8. 8That's it: you're signed in right away, with no email confirmation step. Next, start your 3-day free trial of Premium on the subscription screen: without the trial or a subscription, a new account doesn't open the app.

First access

When you create your account, you're signed in to Biomapa right away - you don't need to confirm your email first. The email you register is your sign-in and the way you recover your password, so double-check it.

Sign in

1. 1In the app, keep the "Sign in" tab selected, enter your email and password and tap "Sign in".
2. 2Once you're in, you go to Home. Your session stays saved on the phone and only ends when you tap "Sign out" in Profile.
3. 3On the website, signing in opens a page with links to the App Store and Google Play, plus "Sign out" and your privacy options: export your data, delete your account and your ad measurement answer.

Biomapa asks for consent separately, by purpose. Some consents are required to use the app; others are optional and you can turn them on or off whenever you want.

Required consents

1. 1"I accept the Terms of Use, which include receiving Biomapa offers and news and the measurement of our ads." In the U.S., ad measurement also needs your separate OK, explained below: without it, nothing goes to ad platforms.
2. 2"I acknowledge the Privacy Policy."
3. 3"I authorize Biomapa to store, extract and organize my health data for my use only." Reading your documents with AI is part of this.

At sign-up you also confirm that you're 18 or older: Biomapa is for people 18 and older.

Optional consent: integrations

Integrations (connecting wearables and outside services such as Health Connect, Apple Health, Samsung Health and Strava) is optional. You can authorize it at sign-up ("I authorize connecting my devices (wearables).") or later, when you first connect a device.

Ad measurement: Biomapa asks first

Because Biomapa is a health app, the simple fact that you use it can count as health information under some U.S. state laws. That's why, in the U.S., Biomapa asks before using anything to measure its ads. The first time you open the app, a screen titled "Can we measure our ads?" explains what's involved, with "Allow" and "Don't allow" buttons of the same size.

1. 1With your OK, Biomapa lets Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and Google know that this phone installed and opened the app, created an account, started a free trial or subscribed. Your device's advertising ID, your IP address and a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email go along, and nothing else.
2. 2This is only used to see which of our ads work. Your health data is never shared: no labs, meals, workouts, sleep, heart rate, weight or medications.
3. 3If you don't allow it, or until you answer, nothing is sent to Meta, TikTok or Google, from the app or from our servers.
4. 4On iPhone, the system's tracking request comes first, and Biomapa's screen only appears if you allow tracking there. If you don't allow tracking, or turn it off later in your iPhone's Settings, it counts as no.
5. 5You can change your answer anytime in Profile > Privacy and data, under Ad measurement.

Just-in-time authorization

If you skip an optional consent at sign-up and later try to use the feature, a notice explains what it's for, with "Authorize" and "Not now" buttons. Authorize and the action continues; tap "Not now" and it stops. Once you've authorized it, the notice doesn't come back (unless you turn the consent off).

The Consents card

1. 1In Profile, open the "Consents" card.
2. 2Use the Integrations switch to turn it on (green) or off (gray).
3. 3Turning it off blocks the feature, but doesn't delete data you've already sent.

Every account has a status: pending, approved or rejected. In almost every case, your account is approved automatically at sign-up and you go straight in.

1. 1If your account is still pending, you'll see a waiting screen when you try to sign in.
2. 2If access is rejected, sign-in shows the access denied message.
3. 3Once your account is approved, you have normal access to everything in your plan.
