Mobile App Research allows for flexible collection of data. Being “in the field” can now happen anytime and anywhere. This is true across a broad spectrum of disciplines today including public health, life sciences, digital humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, public affairs, mhealth and more. Techniques to collect data can leverage notification systems, be randomized, and include push, sms and geo-specific triggers. Citizen science, social justice and community engagement are some examples of research leveraging mobile technology to expand the reach of UCLA in the Los Angeles community.
Join this session to learn how to leverage mobile app tools and platforms developed for research at the Office of Advanced Research.
