Telephone-assisted Sensor Data Collection

Telephone-assisted sensor data collection uses participants' mobile phones as sensing platforms to gather continuous or triggered streams of physical and behavioral data — such as movement, location, and ambient sound — without requiring them to attend a lab. A research application installed on the phone captures sensor readings and transmits them to a central server, enabling large-scale, ecologically valid measurement of real-world behavior over days or weeks.
