MetricWire

MetricWire is a real-world data collection and research platform designed for organizations in life sciences, healthcare, and related fields that need to measure everyday experiences at scale. It supports the design and execution of studies that capture participant data in natural, real-world settings, helping researchers, clinicians, and policymakers identify the factors that drive meaningful outcomes for the people they serve.

The platform addresses common research challenges including gaps in real-world data, difficulty distinguishing causation from correlation, and the inability to effectively monitor and engage participants outside of controlled environments. MetricWire's protocols adapt to individual behavior and context, enabling studies that reflect how people actually live rather than how they behave in a lab.

Novel Data Collection

• Supports Experience Sampling Method (ESM) and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) features to gather qualitative insights at quantitative scale.
• Captures objective sensor data to understand environmental factors contributing to participant responses.
• Enables cognitive experiments and evaluation of digital interventions under real-world conditions.

Contextual and Adaptive Engagement

• Triggers questions, notifications, and passive data capture based on contextual elements such as location, previous responses, passive sensor data, dates, times, or randomized conditions.
• Allows creation of study protocols that adapt to individual behaviors and symptoms over time.
• Supports evaluation of novel digital interventions within adaptive study designs.
• Engages participants across mobile and web devices in both connected and offline environments.

Continuous Monitoring and Reporting

• Monitors and tracks all participant activity throughout the day without influencing participant behavior.
• Compliance management workflows provide actionable information to support participant safety and maximize response rates.
• Allows customization of result sets and data exports to reduce time from data collection to insight.

Research Use Cases

• Treatment compliance monitoring
• Symptom tracking
• Post-traumatic stress research
• Daily activity assessment

MetricWire works with organizations to address their specific regulatory context, support IRB requirements, and build participant trust through data privacy and security practices. The platform is used by global research organizations investigating outcomes across a range of health and behavioral domains.
