The success of any project is limited by the ability to receive, exchange, react to and disseminate information. Traditional research techniques suffer from a range of common challenges which are compounded in developing countries; such challenges include geographic distribution, inefficient collaboration, limited infrastructure, harsh operational conditions, low technological literacy, translation difficulties and participation resistance.
The Mobile Researcher platform coordinates communication and data collection, exposing live data for management, processing, monitoring and evaluation. Surveys are designed and deployed from a web console where administrators log-in to collaborate on survey design, manage staff and analyze and export response data. The mobile application, installed on fieldworker or end user handsets, downloads assigned surveys and facilitates their conduct, storage and submission directly from the phone.
- Flexible web-based design of surveys
- Data capture on low-end handsets without coverage
- Medical Research Council
- Human Sciences Research Council
- Stellenbosch University
