      • Reschedule events such as medication reminders based on participant preference.
      • Change participant targets mid-intervention
    • Picture Message Gallery: Considering an intervention with participant picture messages? We've got a new gallery view that will tickle your fancy.

New! Early Adopters Program

    • For the adventurous user: Check out the Arm Schedules 2.0: Early Adopters Program!

Platform-Wide Updates

Per Participant Scheduling

Do you have a participant who prefers to get their notifications earlier or later than your study's original design? Think outside the box! Participant schedules are no longer are confined to the arm schedule.

Learn how to use Per Participant Scheduling here.

Moving Targets

Now you can change an individual participant's target (i.e. their goal) after the intervention has begun.*

Example: Activity study with standard 10,000 daily step target

  • A participant continues to miss their 10,000 step goal
  • Simply navigate to the participant's target screen, and modify the target step count

*This feature is only available for basic targets.

Check out Modifying Participant Targets for details of how to use this feature.

Picture Message Gallery

Using the Manage Data view, select MMS Device to view incoming photos from your participants:

 

Advanced Configuration Updates

  • Customize your project's email subject line
  • Remove the participant login link from emails (useful if your project doesn't have a participant portal)
