Key data capabilities
Wearable/physiological data
Advanced EMA & survey data
Go beyond static questionnaires with Labfront’s advanced task scheduling. Our ecological momentary assessment (EMA) tools trigger surveys on precise schedules to capture in-the-moment feedback and reduce recall bias. Combine subjective responses with objective sensor data for a more complete view of participant health.
Event tracking data
Gain deeper insights by tracking exactly when participants start and finish specific tasks, providing a clear timeline of participant behavior.
How Labfront works
The Labfront workflow is designed to be intuitive, moving you from study design to data analysis in four simple steps:
-
Build: Create your customized project in minutes on the Labfront dashboard. Choose your data streams and set up your participant task schedule.
-
Invite: Send invitations to your participants. They simply download the Labfront App (iOS/Android) and connect their wearable device.
-
Monitor: Track participant adherence in real-time. If a participant misses a task or their device stops syncing, you can send proactive messages to keep them on track.
-
Analyze: Download your data as clean, timestamped CSV files ready for analysis in your preferred statistical software.
