Inclivio is an industry-leading experience sampling method (ESM) and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) application for completing short, real-time check-ins about your day as part of research studies and programs. If you’ve been invited to a study, Inclivio is where you’ll receive check-ins (short surveys), survey reminders, and the ability to self-initiate surveys sent by your study team. Social scientists, medical researchers, market researchers, and polling companies want you to share your opinions, mood, and experiences in real time, from your phone, to better understand how thoughts, feelings, behaviors, symptoms, and daily events change across situations and over time — not just what you remember later. Inclivio makes this “in-the-moment” participation simple with quick surveys sent directly to your phone. With Inclivio you can: • Complete short surveys (“check-ins”) at scheduled times or within a response window • Receive reminders and notifications so you don’t miss time-sensitive surveys • Start a survey yourself when your study team enables self-initiated check-ins • Review study instructions and contact information (when provided) • Participate securely, with data transmitted using encryption in transit • Communicate securely in-app with your research team Important notes • An invitation is required. Inclivio is used only for studies or programs you’ve been enrolled in • What you see (surveys, schedule, reminders) depends on the specific study you joined • Your consent materials and study team will explain what is collected, how it is used, and who can access it
