Services

TigerAware is a cross-platform system for collecting information from participants in real life over time. Though the system is inspired by applications in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), it can be used in research studies spanning many domains. This includes the social and medical sciences (including psychological studies on emotion, behavior, and substance use), campus climate tracking, and pharmaceutical trials.

Study Management Dashboard

Manage creating, deploying, and tracking surveys in real-time with your privately-provisioned database for storing user responses. Allow your participants to confidentially message administrators and view their progress in the study.

iOS & Android Support

Effortlessly deploy your surveys on iOS and Android platforms.

Device Integration

Incorporate internal device sensors such as GPS, speed, accelerometer, and ambient light, as well as external devices integrated via Bluetooth.

Support

Leverage our experienced team throughout the build, deploy and analyze steps of your study life cycle.

Functionality

TigerAware provides a sophisticated mobile data collection toolkit, including a broad array of question types, advanced notification configurations, compliance monitoring, and internal/external device integration.
