EMA and ESM research, from approval to publication.
What an academic study needs beyond the software: the documentation your IRB asks for, methodological rigor a review committee can see, pricing built for labs and classrooms, and a method with a published track record.
Built for every kind of academic research
ExpiWell’s mobile app technology supports research across disciplines using ecological momentary assessment and experience sampling methodology.
Student Research
Decrease student stress and improve academic persistence — real-time understanding of the student experience, and the right moments to support social, emotional, and academic needs.
Well-Being Research
Advance the well-being of individuals, organizations, and communities — examine everyday life and subjective well-being, and measure interventions meant to improve it.
Clinical & Intervention Research
Assess health and dietary behaviors, evaluate ecologically valid interventions, and test how new behavioral interventions can improve lives.
Workplace Research
Build a scientific understanding of workplace issues: reducing daily work-related stress, increasing productivity and performance, and creating diverse, inclusive workplaces.
Aging & Longevity Research
Meet the growing healthcare needs of aging communities, validate real-world interventions for age-onset disorders, and improve the quality of life that comes with age.
Labs & Students
Free tools for educators and students to teach and run ESM/EMA studies hands-on — plus a grant-ready platform to strengthen funding proposals.
The parts of a study that aren’t the software
Ethics review, funding, budget, and peer review decide whether a study happens at all. Here is where ExpiWell meets each one.
Take it to your IRB
HIPAA and GDPR controls are monitored continuously, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and participant profile information is never shared with researchers. The help center publishes the security and privacy detail an application asks for, and the team walks reviewers through the rest.
Write it into the grant
A proven, compliant data-collection platform is methodological rigor a review committee can see. Cite real-time capture, adaptive scheduling, and continuously monitored compliance in the methods section rather than promising to build them.
Start free, upgrade when the protocol needs it
Free Basic is free forever with unlimited participants, responses, and projects, and it runs event-contingent ESM and EMA studies end to end. Scheduled notifications, adaptive time zones, multimedia, event-triggering, and wearables live on the paid plans, each with a free 7-day trial.
Publish, and cite the method
ExpiWell studies have appeared in more than 400 peer-reviewed papers across psychology, medicine, organizational behavior, and experience-sampling methodology — and the list keeps growing.
Every claim above, documented
Priced for labs, classrooms, and departments
Beyond the free forever plan, three options exist specifically for academic budgets.
Graduate Student Pricing
Unlimited access to the Academic Plus plan at a significant discount — including all features available in Academic Plus.
Short-Term Subscriptions
3-month and 6-month options that best support single projects, with all Academic Plus features included.
Academic Department Bundle
Departments, schools, and colleges provide faculty and grad students unlimited platform access — priced by total number of users.
A method that holds up to peer review
The institutions building on ExpiWell
From R1 research universities to global enterprises, teams around the world run their experience research on our platform.
Representative sample drawn from 7,000+ researchers across 20+ countries actively running studies on ExpiWell.
What academic teams ask first
That the platform is HIPAA and GDPR compliant, with controls monitored continuously; that all transmitted data uses TLS encryption and stored data is encrypted at rest; that participant profile information is collected to build a participant’s own profile and is never shared with researchers; that passive location data is collected only when a study enables it and the participant consents; and that researchers can delete their data at any time, which removes it from the databases immediately and from daily backups after an eight-day retention period. The help center publishes this in full, and reviewers who need the infrastructure provider named, its certification, and our signed BAA can request all three from the team.
Yes. Every account starts on Free Basic, which is free forever with no credit card: unlimited participants, responses, and projects, unlimited mobile surveys with event-contingent ESM and EMA, 12 question types with randomization and skip logic, the free participant apps, and data export as CSV, TSV, or XML. It is enough to run a class exercise or a pilot study end to end.
Three options. Graduate students get unlimited access to the Academic Plus plan at a significant discount. Short-term 3-month and 6-month subscriptions suit a single project. Academic department bundles give faculty and grad students across a department, school, or college unlimited platform access, priced by total number of users.
You do. Researchers control their own users and participant data, can export it as CSV, TSV, or XML at any time, and can request deletion — which removes it from the databases immediately and from daily backups after an eight-day retention period.
Yes — more than 400 peer-reviewed papers so far, spanning psychology, medicine and physical health, organizational behavior, and experience-sampling methodology. The publications page lists a curated sample by field.
