schema

schema enables deployment and evaluation of mobile health (mHealth) studies by providing configurable scheduling and randomisation, delivery of diverse survey and media elements, and distributed data storage to support research-grade monitoring and intervention studies.

Key Features:

• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supports deployment across multiple mobile operating systems for participant data collection and intervention delivery.
• Flexible Scheduling and Randomisation: Provides configurable scheduling and randomisation for study events and interventions.
• Diverse Survey and Media Elements: Includes multiple survey types and media elements to tailor data collection to specific research questions.
• Distributed Data Storage: Employs distributed storage solutions to securely manage and store participant data, ensuring privacy and compliance with data protection standards.
• Support for Various Research Designs: Accommodates cross-sectional surveys, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and micro-randomised just-in-time adaptive interventions (mR-JTAs).

Scientific Applications:

• Evidence-based mHealth Studies: Enables deployment and evaluation of health monitoring and intervention studies on mobile platforms.
• Real-time Behavioral and EMA Data Collection: Facilitates ecological momentary assessment and real-time behavioral pattern analysis through in-situ surveys and media sampling.
• Evaluation of Adaptive Interventions: Supports micro-randomised and randomized controlled study designs for assessing just-in-time adaptive interventions and other personalized healthcare approaches.

Methodology:

The platform architecture enables customization of scheduling and randomisation, delivery of diverse survey and media elements, distributed storage for participant data, and explicit support for study designs including EMA, RCTs, and mR-JTAs.
