MetricWire

Metricwire Inc. is a real-world data collection and research platform that helps organizations measure everyday experiences to inform treatments, service offerings, and policies. The platform is designed for research teams working in life sciences, public health, and related fields who need to capture contextualized, ecologically valid data from participants in their natural environments rather than controlled laboratory settings.

Metricwire addresses three core challenges in real-world research: the difficulty of obtaining meaningful insight from existing data, the need to distinguish causation from correlation when studying signs, symptoms, and conditions, and the lack of effective tools to monitor and engage participants throughout a study. The platform provides adaptive, intelligent protocols that respond to individual behavior and context, enabling research teams to identify mechanisms for change more quickly.

Core Platform Capabilities

• Rich Ecological Momentary Assessment (ESM/EMA) features that support qualitative insights at quantitative scale.
• Objective sensor data capture to understand environmental factors contributing to participant responses.
• Cognitive experiments and evaluation of digital interventions under real-world conditions.
• Context-triggered questions, notifications, and passive data capture based on location, previous responses, passive data, dates and times, or randomized options.
• Study protocols that adapt to individual behaviors and symptoms, supporting novel digital interventions.
• Participant engagement across mobile and web devices in both connected and offline environments.

Monitoring, Compliance, and Reporting

• Continuous monitoring and tracking of all participant activity throughout the day without influencing participant behavior.
• Compliance management workflows that deliver actionable information to support participant safety and maximize response rates.
• Customizable result sets and data exports designed to reduce time to insight.
• Real-time access to actionable information to keep participants and research teams connected throughout the participant journey.

Research Use Cases

• Treatment compliance monitoring.
• Symptom tracking over time in real-world settings.
• Post-traumatic stress research.
• Daily activity assessment and monitoring.

Data Privacy and Security

• Metricwire works with organizations to understand their specific regulatory context and meet the requirements of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).
• The platform is designed to build confidence and trust with research participants through a focus on data privacy and security.

Metricwire serves a global network of partner organizations that use the platform to investigate outcomes that matter across a range of health and behavioral research domains.
