Muhtasari	Pilot-tested sensor data collection is a structured data gathering approach in which sensor instruments — hardware or software-based devices that measure physical, environmental, physiological, or behavioral signals — are deployed in a small-scale trial before the main study. The pilot phase verifies sensor accuracy, communication reliability, data format consistency, and placement adequacy, allowing researchers to identify and correct technical problems before full-scale data collection begins.	Mobile sensor data collection uses the built-in sensors of smartphones, tablets, or wearable devices to capture behavioral, physiological, and environmental data in real-world settings. Sensors such as accelerometers, GPS, heart rate monitors, ambient light detectors, and microphones record data passively or on demand, enabling researchers to study human behavior with high temporal resolution outside the laboratory.
