The kinds of work we support

Until the project list is finalized, here is the shape of work we've historically supported as the MAP Lab:

  • Smartphone-based studies — iOS and Android apps for data collection, content delivery, and behavior change interventions.
  • Multi-device data collection — combining signals from smartwatches, fitness bands, smart rings, and self-report into a single research stream.
  • Hosted app deployments — research-grade apps released without app-store delays, using our shared infrastructure.
  • Secure cloud storage — IRB-aligned data pipelines that keep ownership with the PI.

If you would like a reference for a similar study before yours, get in touch and we can point you to comparable past engagements (with PI permission).
