How It Works

Build your study app without writing code

Turn your research protocol into an app without coding. Choose your study features, build interactive content and assessments, set release rules, and preview the participant experience before launch. Participants access your study through iOS, Android, or a web browser.

Step 1: Choose the features in your app

Turn on the features your study needs, such as modules, trackers, goal setting, a community forum or an AI chatbot. Drag them into the order they appear in the app's bottom navigation bar. Extras like FAQs, resources, and a diary go in the side drawer.

Step 2: Build each module from cards

Researcher View

Create lessons, check-ins, and assessments by combining cards with text, images, videos, surveys, or cognitive tasks. Drag cards into order to shape the participant experience—no coding required.

Step 3: Decide when each module opens

Add one or more release conditions to a module and choose whether all of them or any of them must be met. Each release can send a push notification and reminders, and you set when the module closes again.

Step 4: See each participant's path before you launch

The module release preview maps every module and its conditions. Pick a participant account to see which modules are completed, released or still locked for that person, and check your logic before the study goes live.

Step 5: Invite Participants to Join on Mobile or Web

Participants download the app (iOS and Android) or access the app on using a web browser. They complete modules as they open, sync their activity, log exercise and earn badges. Their responses and device data come back to your study. Some features (e.g., notifications, wearable sync, EMA) require the mobile app and are unavailable on the web.
