You can download the VitalTrack Linux program using the button above.
The VitalTrack program is an application that allows users to monitor biometric signals and motion data collected through the VitalTrack device in real-time.
This application provides features such as Bluetooth connectivity with the VitalTrack device, data collection, storage, and visualization.
The VitalTrack app was developed and tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Therefore, this document provides a guide optimized for the Ubuntu 24.04 environment.
1. Initial App Setup (Linux Version - Ubuntu 24.04)
1.1 Enabling Bluetooth
Before running the VitalTrack app, you need to enable Bluetooth on your PC. This can be easily done through the Bluetooth settings menu in Ubuntu.
In the GUI Environment (GNOME Desktop): Settings Path: "Settings" > "Bluetooth" > Toggle the Bluetooth switch to "On" Alternatively, click the Bluetooth icon in the top panel to enable it.
Using Terminal Commands: To enable Bluetooth, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl start bluetoothTo check the Bluetooth status, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl status bluetooth1.2 Running the App
Run the installed VitalTrack app on Ubuntu 24.04. During the first launch, the app may request Bluetooth permissions.
2 Device Connection
2.1 Device Search and Pairing
Start the device discovery process in the VitalTrack app. Once the app detects nearby VitalTrack devices, a list will be displayed. Select your device from the list to complete the pairing process.
3. Data Collection and Visualization
3.1 Starting Data Collection
Click the Start Measurement button (a floating button with a play icon in the bottom-right corner) in the app to begin real-time data collection from the VitalTrack device. The collected data will be visualized on the screen as graphs.
3.2 Viewing PPG Data
You can view real-time PPG (Photoplethysmography) data in graph form.
PPG data detects and measures changes in blood flow and reflects variations in blood volume due to pulsation.
3.3 Viewing IMU Data
Real-time IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) data can also be viewed.
IMU data includes information from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer, enabling the tracking of user movements.
3.4 Saving Data
To stop the measurement, click the Stop Measurement button (a floating button with a stop icon in the bottom-right corner).
All data collected during the session will be automatically saved to the local storage of your PC.
The saved data can be found at the following path:
Saved Data Path: ~/VitalTrack Data
How to Access the Data:
cd ~/VitalTrack Data
ls
