AWARE Client V2: Mobile Context Sensing Framework
AWARE Client V2 is a comprehensive sensing framework designed for instrumenting, inferring, logging, and sharing mobile context information for smartphone users and researchers. It captures a wide range of data, including hardware-, software-, and human-based information. This app enables automatic collection of user activity data such as location, steps, mobility types, heart rate, sleep, and workout data via HealthKit API. Privacy is a key focus, ensuring that personal information like phone numbers or contacts is not logged, and data is stored locally on the device before being uploaded to the AWARE server when connected to Wi-Fi and charging.
Running studies related to mobile devices is simplified with AWARE. Researchers can easily install the app on participants' phones, select desired data to collect, and even create mobile questionnaires if using their own AWARE server. A simple process of setting up studies on the AWARE Dashboard, scanning QR codes for study participation, and automatic background data collection make it a valuable tool for researchers.
