Features

Everything between recruitment and dataset

Designing a sensing study is only part of the work. Recruiting participants, keeping devices collecting data, and exporting usable datasets usually take far more time than expected. TigerSensing handles those pieces for you.

Find problems before they become missing data

See when a phone stops uploading, a sensor loses permission, or battery settings interrupt data collection. TigerSensing flags issues while participants are still in the study, giving your team time to fix them.

Consent built for research studies

Each sensor has its own explanation and consent switch. Participants can choose what they share, withdraw consent later, and review their choices whenever the study configuration changes.

Every study you run, in one view

Track recruitment, enrollment, upload health, and adherence across every study from one dashboard.

Data your analyst can open on day one

Export documented CSV files whenever you need them, organized by study, participant, or sensor. Every export includes metadata so your team knows exactly what was collected and when.

Product tour

One study, run on iOS, Android, and the web

Participants carry their own smartphone and install TigerSensing. Your team monitors from the web dashboard.

How it works

From protocol to dataset in three steps

STEP 01

Configure your study

Choose sensor streams and sampling schedules, add participants and collaborators, then publish.

STEP 02

Enroll participants

Participants install the app with the credentials you issue, walk through onboarding, and grant sensor permissions. Collection begins automatically, with nothing for them to remember each day.

STEP 03

Monitor and export

Watch adherence as it accumulates, triage stalled devices early, and pull analysis-ready bundles whenever you need them, mid-study as well as at the end.

Privacy by design

Signals, not content

TigerSensing is designed to measure behavioral signals, not personal content. Depending on your study, that may include movement, location patterns, or screen activity, but never the contents of messages, photos, recordings, passwords, or browsing history.

Reviewing us for an ethics board, or invited to a study and wondering what the app can see? The privacy policy spells out every signal in plain language, including what is scrambled on the phone before it is ever sent.

  • The words inside messages or calls
  • Photos, video, or audio recordings
  • Passwords, payments, or browsing content
  • Anything after a participant withdraws
