The platform

One platform for modern research

Rich, multi-modal data in real-world contexts — from surveys to sensors to place. The full catalog below sits underneath these six.

Adaptive mobile surveys

Capture thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they happen — branching logic, twenty question types, and scheduling that bends to the protocol rather than the other way round.

Wearable & sensor data

Sensor+ plan

Objective context for every self-report: activity, sleep, and movement from phone sensors, Apple Watch, and Fitbit, landing in the same export as the answers.

Geofenced triggers

GEMA plan

Geographically explicit EMA — a survey fires the moment a participant arrives at, stays in, or leaves a place, so context is captured on site.

Real-time analytics

Catch compliance dips while there is still time to act on them: watch response rates live, then filter and export every stream from one dashboard.

Cross-platform

Meet participants on the phones they already own — native iOS and Android apps, one consistent journey, no app for your team to build or ship.

Context & capture

What surrounds the answer

Place, time, and connection decide what a moment actually means. These seven shape what lands beside every response — and what leaves with you at the end.

Place-based triggers

GEMA plan

Geographically explicit EMA: a survey fires the moment a participant arrives at, stays in, or leaves a place — clinic, campus, or community.

arrivaldeparturegEMA

GPS capture

Premium plan

Record where an experience happened — with explicit participant opt-in and per-study permission controls.

locationopt-in

Adaptive time zones

A 9am survey fires at 9am local, and re-anchors automatically when a participant travels mid-project.

scheduling

Offline capture

Surveys open and save with no connection, then sync when one returns — fieldwork that doesn’t depend on coverage.

fieldworksync

External survey links

Premium plan

The Dynamic Link question type carries participant ID and session data into Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, or any external URL as embedded data.

Automatic transcription

Premium plan

Voice and video answers transcribed automatically — digital ethnography without the transcription budget.

Structured exports

Everything you captured leaves in one file — surveys, sensors, and timestamps in CSV, TSV, or XML, every row linked by the same anonymous identifier, ready for multilevel models.

60+ capabilities, grouped by what you’re doing

A powerful platform, free to start

Join ExpiWell for free and use many experience sampling and ecological momentary assessment features freely available.

Free Basic Platform

Join for free and use many experience sampling and ecological momentary assessment features at no cost.

Free Trial

Try ExpiWell before you subscribe — create a free trial and test-run your ESM or EMA project yourself.

Free iOS & Android Apps

Highly rated experience sampling and ecological momentary assessment apps, freely available on the app stores.

Anonymized Data Collection

Participants log in securely through the mobile apps to track responses across surveys. No identifying information is shared with researchers.

Remote Onboarding

Participants easily download the ExpiWell mobile app and start joining different projects.

Multiple Languages

Surveys are compatible with virtually all languages. Mobile apps are available in English, German, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Hebrew, and Korean.

GPS Capture

Capture the location of where experiences are taken.

Online & Offline Projects

Enable experience capture for participants who do not have cellular or WiFi connections.

Backup Email Notifications

Send email backup reminders to participants who may not have immediate push notifications for time-sensitive projects.

Real-Time Data Dashboard

Obtain real-time information on the number of participants and time taken for each survey within the project.

Participant Logs

Track individual response rates in real time, view specific responses, and know whether participants are receiving push notifications.

Participant Payments

Compensate participants directly with Amazon gift cards — no identifying information needed, with compensation based on response rates.

Automatic Transcription

Voice and video answers transcribed automatically on Premium and above — ready to code or analyze.

Multiple study and survey options

Sophisticated designs — screeners, logic, and personalization — with no coding required.

Project Screener

Screen participants by creating project requirements (e.g., demographics, location). Great for online recruitment.

Screener Questions

Prevent participants from continuing based on random or careless responding to improve data quality.

Branching & Logic

Create sophisticated surveys with branching and logic — ideal for personalized surveys or interventions.

Piping

Create question text based on previous participant choices to further personalize surveys.

Randomize Questions

Randomize the ordering of questions each time the participant takes the survey.

Automatic Next Question

Move participants to the next question immediately after a choice is made — a great time saver on long surveys.

Forced Choice

Require an answer before moving to the next question — excellent for important questions.

Request Response

Request an answer when participants skip a question. Great for gently reminding participants.

Mobile Charts

Give participants viewable charts to track their own responses and growth over the project.

Hide Progress Bar

Option to hide the progress bar for long surveys.

Easy survey scheduling

Event-contingent, signal-contingent, and interval-contingent protocols — combined in a single project.

Calendar Schedule

Send surveys on specific dates — e.g., ask every participant about New Year’s resolutions beginning January 1.

Rolling Schedule

Collect a set window of data — say two weeks — from each participant regardless of when they start the project.

Static (Event-Based) Schedule

Surveys can be taken whenever the participant chooses.

Combine Schedules

Combine schedules for different survey types — event-contingent, signal-contingent, and interval-contingent protocols in one project.

Start & Close Times

Control when participants can take surveys so they cannot backfill outside the scheduled time.

Randomized Survey & Notification Times

Create randomized timings — e.g., a survey randomly available for one hour between 8–11 am.

Fixed or Snoozed Reminders

Remind participants to complete an available survey when they have not done so after a certain time.

Personalized Schedule

Let participants adjust survey timings in the app — great for shift and healthcare workers.

Event-Triggering

Trigger contingent surveys and notifications based on responses — built for adaptive interventions, EMIs, and JITAIs.

Adaptive Time Zone

Schedules adapt automatically to each participant’s time zone — a 9 am survey fires at 9 am local, even when participants travel mid-project.

Researcher Push Notifications

Send customizable push notifications from the participant log to send friendly reminders and increase participation rates.

Geofenced Triggers

Fire a survey on arrival at, stay in, or departure from a location — clinic, campus, or community. Geographically explicit EMA, on the GEMA plan.

Multiple question types

From single selection to multimedia capture and cognitive tests — tailor every prompt to your objectives.

Convenient project distribution

Access Code

Participants enter a unique access code into the mobile app to start the project.

Invite by Email

Only participants with specific email addresses can start the project — great alongside existing data-collection platforms.

Temporary User Accounts

Project-based temporary accounts for fully anonymous collection — very useful for populations who can’t easily create their own account.

Response data you can act on

Data Download

Download response data in CSV, TSV, or XML, numeric or choice text — all surveys linked by a unique anonymous identifier.

Time-Stamped

Survey completions are time-stamped for tracking when participants complete them.

Logs

Track notifications sent to participants and download the notification timings.
