  • Participants & subgroups

    Manage study participants and assign different surveys — or different versions of the same survey — to distinct subgroups (for example, males and females).

  • Monitoring dashboard

    Follow which surveys were sent, received, opened, and answered from a single dashboard, so you can track participant compliance in real time.

  • Web questionnaires

    Run web surveys that participants can start and complete later, including a mapping interface to geolocate a point or draw a route or area on a map.

  • Scripted study protocols

    Script a succession of web and smartphone questionnaires and apply it automatically to a large pool of participants — including in multilingual studies.

  • Survey response options

    Checkboxes, radio buttons, numeric or text, slider scales, time/date/datetime, duration, audio recording, and photo capture — with optional illustrative images.

  • Survey triggers

    Surveys can be permanently available (participant-initiated) or automatically triggered: at a fixed or random time, on indoor/outdoor detection, or by geofencing.

  • Mobility tracking

    Collect GPS data every few seconds over the whole survey, with activity information (walking, in vehicle, stationary…) and automatic place & travel detection.

    Learn more
  • Timed responses

    Constrain participants to answer within a limited time — useful, for example, to administer cognitive tests on the smartphone.
