ESMira

Run longitudinal studies with completely anonymous participant data collection

About ESMira

ESMira is a free, decentralized, open-source platform for research projects using experience sampling designs such as ESM, ambulatory assessment and ecological momentary assessment. Study administrators install it on their own webspace without much technical knowledge, set up studies, communicate with participants and store all data themselves, while participants join through Android and iOS apps in a workflow designed to keep data collection completely anonymous.
