An app that supports clinicians and researchers by making Ecological Momentary Assessments mobile. mEMA (mobile Ecological Momentary Assessment) empowers research studies and clinical interventions with tools that capture self-report data and provide timely feedback to study participants and patients. mEMA facilitates interventions and studies without ever collecting identity information about users. When a clinician or researcher adds a program participant, mEMA randomly generates an eight-digit code is used to distinguish one participant's data from another's. The researcher or clinician records that code on paper or in their local systems to allow them to translate the random code to a real person. Only researchers and clinicians have access to identity information. mEMA has no access to personal identity information, nor do we store any personal identity information.
