Projects
SMAAT
SMAAT, or Sensor-based Mobile Application for Assessment and Tracking, is a platform I developed to empower researchers, businesses, and individuals with tools for survey-building, dynamic experience sampling, and secure data collection. It supports experience sampling research and ambulatory assessments by allowing customizable surveys and tasks with advanced notification scheduling, sensor data collection (like GPS and accelerometer), and end-to-end encryption. Features include an intuitive visual builder, real-time analytics, and multi-language support. Benefits include capturing real-time insights, ensuring data security, and enriching research with sensor data.
MindHive
MindHive is a web-based citizen science platform that I contributed to, designed to support real-world brain and behavior research. Its purpose is to provide STEM research experiences for students and teachers while enabling neuroscientists and psychologists to conduct research outside the lab. Features include studies, tasks, and surveys created by students and scientists, allowing public participation. It targets students, teachers, and researchers in cognitive and social psychology, with benefits like facilitating citizen science in topics such as mindfulness and attention.
Open Lab
Open Lab is a platform I worked on to help researchers conduct online experiments simply, transparently, and securely, especially those built with lab.js. It hosts studies, manages data collection and participant management without needing a personal server. Features include one-click uploads, real-time tracking, support for between-subjects designs, collaboration tools, language localization, and OSF integration. It ensures security with HTTPS and GDPR compliance. Targeted at behavioral researchers, benefits include ease of use, enhanced security, and data protection.
Samply
Samply is a tool I developed to support experience sampling, ambulatory assessment, and diary studies. It simplifies sending notifications to participants via a mobile app, linking to online surveys or experiments. Features include a free mobile app on Google Play and App Store, various notification schedules (one-time, repeat, randomized), customizable messages and URLs, and response recording. It's free, supported by the iScience group, with tutorials in English and German. Benefits include efficient mobile notification management and flexibility for mobile-based research.
