Description
This iOS application is part of the Beiwe research platform used to collect research-quality smartphone sensor and usage data from subjects in clinical and non-clinical research studies. Only participants who have been invited to join a study, and have been provided both a user ID and a password, can use this application. The Beiwe research platform, including this application, is a project of the Onnela Lab at Harvard University. This work is supported by funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Please note, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
The Beiwe2 app connects to any Beiwe server deployment; during registration, you can specify the URL of the Beiwe server. This is unlike the Beiwe app, which is preset to connect to studies.beiwe.org.
Beiwe integrates with the Health app, because Beiwe's surveys are built on ResearchKit, which uses HealthKit as a dependency.
What’s New
Version 2.5.0
The big Two-Five!
This version of Beiwe has some major technical upgrades, all in pursuit of a single critical feature: background app persistence.
Beiwe now stays open in the background much, much longer than it ever has before. This will increase the data collection throughout the day, at the cost of some extra battery drain.
You will notice that the location services icon is visible in the statusbar - this is a normal part of Beiwe's operations.
Known bugs:
- The badge on the Beiwe App icon can become desynced from the number of available surveys.
Ratings and Reviews
Terrible app
I’ve been involved in a study but I haven’t been able to log in for months. With a previous update, the app suddenly told me I had the wrong password when I absolutely know it was correct. I copied and pasted it from a password keeper and the app still said it was wrong. Now when I try to log in, the app just shuts down and kicks me out. What is going on with this? I can’t participate in the study anymore.
Too Many Issues with Log In
After a recent update, my password would no longer work. Like others, I was certain I was entering the correct password. Now, the app quits when I try to enter any password. I am disappointed because the study that I was participating in is very important, but this app has too many bugs to make use feasible.
Can’t contact study staff
I’m supposed to contact study staff to reset my forgotten password, but there’s no contact info provided and nothing in my email that includes the word “Beiwe” or “Beiwe2.”
