📲

Dynamic sampling with item library

Configure time-based, random, and event-based prompts, set quiet hours, and build surveys from a validated item library tagged by construct, so you can drag-and-drop pre-phrased questions instead of writing everything from scratch.

📊

Real-time compliance monitoring

Monitor per-participant response rates by day, week, and survey type in a dedicated compliance dashboard, and receive automated email digests when adherence drops below your thresholds.

🏅

Participant engagement & gamification

Keep participants engaged with points, streaks, badges, progress bars, levels, missions, leaderboards, team goals, and optional narrative modes that make intensive protocols easier to stick with.

For researchers, clinicians, and applied teams

Academic & clinical research

Design EMA/ESM protocols, longitudinal cohorts, and intervention studies with fine-grained control over scheduling and measures.

Businesses & market insights

Understand customer journeys, employee well-being, or realtime feedback using mobile surveys and optional passive data.

Healthcare & individuals

Monitor symptoms, routines, and mobility patterns to support digital health interventions and personal self-tracking.
