TabSINT

TabSINT facilitates distributed hearing assessments and general-purpose questionnaires on tablet devices to enable outcomes-based medical research across geographically dispersed populations.

Key Features:

• Customizable Test Protocols: Researchers create and modify hearing test protocols and questionnaires using text-based templates.
• Deployment Flexibility: Supports deployment via a cloud-based repository or via USB connections.
• Data Management: Stores results locally on the tablet SD card and can automatically upload results to a centralized cloud-based database.
• High-throughput Data Collection: Has collected over 25,000 test results using more than 200 unique protocols between 2014 and 2019, demonstrating capacity for large-scale data acquisition.

Scientific Applications:

• Audiology and Hearing Sciences: Enables large-scale distributed collection of hearing assessment data and questionnaires from geographically dispersed populations.
• Outcomes-based Medical Research: Facilitates multicenter and population-scale studies requiring standardized behavioral and questionnaire-based outcome measures.

Methodology:

Uses text-based protocol templates; supports deployment via cloud repository or USB; stores data locally on SD card and optionally uploads to a centralized cloud-based database.
