As we start the new year, we’ve been reflecting on the studies you launched and the participants you supported over the past year.
We’re grateful to play a small role in the important work you do! Guided by your feedback, the updates we shipped this past year are focused on helping you set up studies faster, keep participants engaged, and access your data more easily—so you can spend less time on configuration and more time on research.
Keep participants engaged. Get better data in return.
App Designer
Design complete app experiences directly in MyDataHelps with the newly embedded App Designer (previously called View Builder), and several new components, including: Micro Trend, Latest Blood Pressure, Intraday HR Chart, Document Library, Mini Glucose Chart, Better Meal Logging / Analysis, and Survey Answer Chart.
Improved eConsent
Capture multiple signatures, checkboxes, and other form elements in your eConsent, then auto-generate a consent PDF.
Discover Page
Empower participants with a central hub to connect health records, link wearables, join studies, and access self-management tools.
Richer Survey Step Design
Enhance surveys with GitHub-flavored markdown and a rich text editor for images, tables, code blocks, icons, and multi-level lists—plus first-class polished instruction steps.
Oura + Health Connect
Expand your data sources with devices participants already use. Capture sleep and activity from Oura, or pull from Android’s Health Connect across multiple apps.
Landing Page Redesign
Help participants understand the MyDataHelps app experience with clearer, up-to-date guidance on the new mydatahelps.org website.
