Software For Research

1. Is this platform really the right fit for my project?

Maybe! We only support three kinds of solutions in the behavioral sciences: intelligent text-messaging interventions, apps for CBT-style interventions, and apps for smart EMA/survey-based studies.

All studies get access to our intelligent rules engine, have a fixed up-front price, include real-time data capture from digital devices(Fitbit, Garmin and Bodytrace), and sport modern and elegant staff dashboards for data analysis and export.

We build most apps within 90 days, and even integrate with REDCap (if you need it). Best of all, you get to focus on your science while we build everything for you, exactly as you need it.

2. Can I trust Software for Research?

We have implemented studies at Duke, Northwestern, Penn State, University of Illinois, University of Mississippi, Johns Hopkins, the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Hackensack Meridian Health System. We're always happy to provide detailed references upon request.

3. How much does it cost?

Take a look at our fixed up-front pricing chart so you'll know right now whether or not we can fit your budget.

4. What about PHI and security? Are you HIPAA compliant?

Our data meets the industry-standard security levels for PII and PHI, including HIPAA compliance.

5. We screen and enroll participants with REDCap. What happens next?

We can integrate with your institution's REDCap project to synchronize our participant roster with yours, avoiding any manual entry into our system. You still get access to our elegant dashboard so you can watch data flow into your study in real-time.

6. Our IT department requires new vendors to run a crazy guantlet run of spreadsheets and first-degree questioning under a bare light bulb. Is that a problem?

Nope! We have lots of experience working with IT departments at academic institutions. If we're not already an authorized vendor at your institution, we will work with them to establish our credentials, ensuring a smooth transition for your project.
