## What is ESMira?

ESMira is a tool for running longitudinal studies (ESM, AA, EMA, ...) with completely anonymized communication with participants and data collection.

Fully functional offline
ESMira works without a steady internet connection. All functionality of studies are saved locally in the app and saved data are cached and will be uploaded as soon as there is an internet connection.

Personal Feedback
Researcher can set up complex charts that will be automatically calculated out of participants' data. These statistics can be either personalised to the participants or calculated out of all participants' data.

Completely anonymous
Each participant gets a random participant id under which all data is collected. ESMira does not collect any personal data at any time.

Anonymous Chat
Participants can communicate with the researcher from within the app and stay completely anonymous while doing so. Additionally, researchers can send important messages to all participants of a study.

Free and open source
ESMira is developed as a project at Karl Landsteiner University to be used for our own studies and published for the community to use completely free of charge.
