Data Collection Using Wearables, Sensors, and Apps in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
Course presented by Florian Keusch & Heidi Guyer
Open for registration!
July 12 - 22, 2022
11:00am – 1:00pm EST
T & F
The recent proliferation of mobile technology allows researchers to collect objective health and behavioral data at increased intervals, in real time, and may also reduce participant burden. In this course, we will provide examples of the utility of and integration of wearables, sensors, and apps in research settings. Examples will include the use of wearable health devices to measure activity, apps for ecological momentary assessment, and smartphone sensors to measure sound and movement, among others. Additionally, this course will consider the integration of these new technologies into existing surveys and the quality of the data collected from the total survey error perspective. We will discuss considerations for assessing coverage, participation, and measurement error when integrating wearables, sensors, and apps in a research setting as well as the costs and privacy considerations when collecting these types of data. Participants will work in groups to discuss a research study design using new technology and have the opportunity for hands-on practice with sensor data.
Course Hour: 1
Instructors: Florian Keusch, Heidi Guyer
Prerequisite: You must have your own laptop to participate in this class.
All 2022 courses will be offered in an alternative remote format.
