1. Open the app
Choose Create or set up a clinic. Do not use the no-account test path when you want a paired patient display.
Clinic setup guide
Follow this when setting up eyeQ on a clinic staff device. The flow creates a clinic account, opens the command center, pairs the patient display, adds a patient, and records the first Near Acuity result.
Before you start
You need the eyeQ Android app on the staff device, a second tablet or browser screen for the patient display, internet access on both screens, and a clinic email and password. Invited Android beta testers can install from eyeq.health/beta/android with the beta password from their eyeQ contact. If the signup form asks for an access code, use the one from your eyeQ invitation — ask your eyeQ contact if you need a code.
The short path
Step-by-step walkthrough
These steps use the customer-facing clinic setup flow and the patient display pairing flow.
Choose Create or set up a clinic. Do not use the no-account test path when you want a paired patient display.
Tap Get started on the Create your clinic card. (Unified Imaging can be connected later, once that integration is live.)
Enter the clinic name, work email, and password. Most signups don't ask for a code — but if an Access code field appears, enter the code from your eyeQ invitation. Scroll down, select the practice type, and keep the device role set to Clinic.
The app requires a practice type before it lets you continue. Select Retina, Glaucoma, Optometry, or Mixed practice.
After setup completes, tap Open command center. This takes staff to the room controller.
A brand-new clinic may show No room. Tap Show a code, then tap New code. The header changes to Unnamed room and a six-character code appears.
On the patient display tablet, laptop, or browser screen, open app.eyeq.health/pair and enter the six-character code from the staff device. When pairing succeeds, the patient display says Connected.
The staff device then changes from waiting to Live on patient display.
Tap Select patient, then + New patient. Enter the patient name, then tap Add and select. The picker closes on its own; on older builds (APK v7 and earlier), tap outside the panel to close it.
Tap Near Acuity on the staff device. The patient display automatically opens the Near Acuity screen.
On the patient display, tap the smallest line the patient can read. Staff confirms the result and taps Accept result. The staff screen saves that eye and advances to the next eye.
Until the patient taps an answer, Accept result stays dim and shows Waiting for the patient's answer — or type the result above.
Troubleshooting
Tap Open command center. If the command center says No room, tap Show a code, then New code.
Open eyeq.health/beta/android on the Android device, enter the beta install password, and tap Download APK. The beta password is separate from the clinic account password.
Select a practice type. The clinic form requires Retina, Glaucoma, Optometry, or Mixed practice.
Use the six-character code shown on the staff device. Refresh the patient display if the code is old.
On current builds the picker closes on its own after Add and select. On APK v7 and earlier, tap outside the panel to close it.
That is the calibration reminder. You can keep going for a quick walkthrough — calibrate before relying on letter sizes for real measurements.
Displays disconnect after sitting unused for a long stretch. Show the room code on the staff device and enter it on the display to reconnect.
If the form shows an access code field, use the code from your eyeQ invitation. Check for typos, or ask your eyeQ contact for a fresh code — codes have limited uses and can expire.
Confirm the Android build points at the hosted API or the intended testing API.
