Platform for ambulatory assessment of psycho-physiological signals and online data capture

Abstract

Over the last years there has been an increasing interest in finding new methods for capturing psychological, behavioral and physiological data in real-time using infield data acquisition systems. Within our research group a system for ambulatory assessment of psycho-physiological signals for real-time data capture has been developed. The system is based on Smartphones which are equipped with software to record contextual and subjective data from participants and have that information transmitted wirelessly to a central online database. An online database offers the possibility of collecting, storing and analyzing all study related data in a central point. This paper provides an overview of this system.
