Built-in Simulator

Preview the full participant experience before going live. Test curriculum navigation, surveys, journals, and streaks exactly as participants will see them on their phone.

Multimedia Lessons

Videos, audio, interactive exercises, and downloadable worksheets.

Journal & Reflection

Prompted entries for self-reflection with guided or free-form writing.

In-App Surveys

Likert scales, multiple choice, free text, sliders with skip logic.

Goal Tracking

Participant-defined goals with milestone rewards and streaks.

EMA

Ecological Momentary Assessments

Capture real-time data from participants in their natural environment with push-notification-driven surveys and smart scheduling.

Flexible Scheduling

Signal-contingent, interval-contingent, and event-contingent sampling. Random prompts within defined windows or fixed schedules.

Biometric Triggers

Trigger surveys based on heart rate, step counts, or sleep data from connected wearables. Threshold-based prompting built in.

Waking Windows

Respect individual sleep schedules. No prompts during sleep hours. Automatic adjustment per participant.

Push Notifications

Native mobile notifications with configurable reminders. Response windows prevent stale data collection.

Skip Conditions

Define when to skip or delay prompts based on recent responses, sensor data, or inbound keywords. Delay or reset modes.

Compliance Tracking

Real-time dashboards show response rates, completion times, and participant engagement. Spot declining patterns early.

Visual EMA Protocol Designer

Design sophisticated sampling protocols with a 4-step visual wizard — no coding required.

Choose Your Sampling Mode

Start by selecting how participants receive prompts: fixed schedule for evenly-spaced times, random schedule for unpredictable sampling, or threshold-based to fire when a health metric falls below a target.

Then walk through scheduling, message content, response windows, and skip conditions — all in a guided wizard. Review a plain-English summary before going live.

Message Pool

Define the prompts participants receive. Choose sequential delivery (in order) or random (a different message each time). Set messages to repeat after the pool is exhausted.

Add, edit, or reorder messages anytime. Each prompt can include survey-style questions that participants respond to directly.
