Product Overview
Effortlessly transform your survey data collection workflows with RTI StudySense™—a comprehensive digital platform designed to simplify participant onboarding, consent management, survey delivery, on-demand compensation, and data collection without requiring custom development. The platform supports researchers at all expertise levels, offering intuitive and centralized tools for both mobile and web-based studies tailored to unique research objectives.
Existing tools such as REDCap, Qualtrics, and MetricWire often fail to meet specific research needs, lacking features required for seamless operations or imposing high costs. RTI StudySense™ was developed to address these gaps and provide researchers with a unified solution that integrates advanced tools for participant engagement, study configuration, and robust analytics into one streamlined platform.
The StudySense platform empowers research teams to optimize participant workflows, accelerate data collection, and enable clear, actionable insights through automated and customizable research management tools. Its capabilities support longitudinal mobile app studies, one-time web surveys, ecological momentary assessments (EMA), adaptive interventions, and other modern approaches to survey-based research.
RTI StudySense: Mobile App and Web Surveys
RTI StudySense™ offers flexible deployment options to meet diverse research needs. The mobile app revolutionizes participant engagement for longitudinal studies with seamless functionality, while web-based surveys through QR codes and direct links provide quick, accessible options for cross-sectional research—eliminating app installation barriers when immediate deployment is needed.
Key features include:
- Flexible Deployment: Choose between mobile app for sustained engagement or web surveys via QR codes and shareable links for one-time data collection and rapid deployment.
- Efficient Enrollment: Participants enroll quickly using QR codes or system links, enabling smooth onboarding across both web and mobile channels.
- On-Demand Survey Delivery: Deliver surveys anytime, directly to participant devices via notifications (mobile) or browser access (web), supporting time-sensitive assessments.
