Abstract

With the proliferation of smartphones and wearables, Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods[1] are evolving into an indispensable component of practices that seek to collect data from a population of participants, through the use of their devices. In fields ranging from clinical psychology, to product design, to marketing and mHealth, the mobile devices owned by a population of participants can be made use of, and gather insights into how their daily lives unfold, by collecting data as reported from the participants themselves, or sensed by the devices. End-user programmable systems can aid these professionals and researchers manage the challenges that may arise in employing EMA methods with such devices.
