Mobile In-depth Interview

A mobile in-depth interview (mIDI) is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher conducts an extended, exploratory conversation with a participant using a smartphone or tablet, either synchronously (voice or video call) or asynchronously (voice-message or text exchange). The approach retains the probing, open-ended character of traditional in-depth interviewing while leveraging the ubiquity and convenience of mobile technology to reach participants in naturalistic, everyday settings.
