This email has a QR code in it that you will need to scan with your phone.
Step 10: Leave the QR code up on the other device and now go back to your smartphone and tap on “Scan QR code.”
MyCap may ask for permission to access your camera. Please click on “ok” or “allow.”

This will allow you to see when we have sent you messages.
Step 15: You will then see a “Welcome” screen. Tap “Done.”
Step 16: The “EMBRACE” study should now be listed on your projects screen on the MyCap app and/or you may already see the “Activities” screen in the EMBRACE study.
Step 17: Now, go into Project EMBRACE on the MyCap app and send us a secure message telling us you installed the app.
To do this, tap on the Messages icon.
Then you can type a message to us. Even just typing and sending “Hello!” would be fine.
Step 18: You should receive a message back from us within 24 hours (if it is a weekday).
Step 19: Watch for future messages from us too!
When you receive a message from us, a notification will likely pop up on your phone that says something like “You have a secure message waiting”.
