An app to help researchers capture biospecimens (e.g., temperature, blood pressure) remotely from research study participants. Are you enrolled in a remote research study? Do you have to submit biospecimen readings and complete questionnaires as part of your participation? The MyTrials app allows research participants in remote studies to easily complete and submit biospecimen readings and questionnaires all in one place. Get reminders about upcoming biospecimen submissions and questionnaires so you never miss a follow-up. DISCLAIMER: MyTrials may connect to bluetooth devices that take biometric readings which are informational only and not intended to be used for making medical decisions. Seek a doctor’s advice as a result of concern from any biometric readings before making any medical decisions.
