Daily use of the myLUX™ Patient App

Staying connected

Your myLUX Patient App on your smartphone or the Boston Scientific provided mobile device transmits your heart rhythm data stored on your LUX-Dx™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System to your health care team. It is very important to keep your app connected so your health care team can continue monitoring your heart rhythm remotely. Keep these best practices in mind.

Watch this video to see how to stay connected to the myLUX Patient App or use the section below to learn at your own pace.

Best practices and troubleshooting tips to stay connected

Connect your smartphone or mobile device to the internet via a WiFi or cellular connection.

Keep Bluetooth® on so your app can connect to your ICM device.

Check your myLUX Patient App connection every few days by tapping into the app and looking for a blue screen. If you see a blue screen with the check mark icon noting your monitoring is up to date, no action is needed.

This is just an example where the power button could be located. It is usually a single button located along the top or right edge of the phone. It may be in a different place based on specific phone models.

Recording your symptoms

Your health care team will let you know if you need to record symptoms in your myLUX Patient App and which symptoms you should record. If your app doesn’t have a Record Symptoms button, that means your clinic hasn’t enabled this feature. If you have been asked to record symptoms in your myLUX Patient App, be sure to record symptoms when you first feel them for accuracy.

Watch this quick video for step-by-step instructions on how to record your symptoms.
