সারসংক্ষেপ	A Mobile Research Diary is a data collection technique in which participants record thoughts, experiences, behaviours, or events in structured diary entries submitted via a smartphone or tablet app over a defined study period. By moving the diary onto a mobile device, researchers gain time-stamped, geolocation-optional data captured close to the moment of experience, reducing retrospective recall bias while maintaining the rich, naturalistic quality of traditional diary methods.	The diary method is a data-collection technique in which participants record their thoughts, behaviours, events, or experiences in their own words at regular or event-contingent intervals over a defined study period. By capturing data close in time to the event, diaries reduce retrospective recall bias and give researchers access to the texture of everyday life as it unfolds — something one-off surveys and retrospective interviews cannot provide.
