In a digital era where attention is the new currency, engaging participants in research studies requires not just relevant content but also impeccable timing. ExpiWell's push notification system is the compass that guides researchers to the sweet spots of their participants' days, ensuring that surveys are both timely and effective. Our push notification system is part of our technological infrastructure for both our ExpiWell iOS and ExpiWell Android apps.

Here's how this powerful tool can be harnessed to maximize research efficacy.

The Magic of Just-In-Time Notifications

ExpiWell understands that the right moment can make all the difference. Its push notifications are designed to reach participants precisely when their input is most valuable. This "just-in-time" approach ensures that the data captured is as close to the lived experience as possible, providing richer and more accurate insights.

Key Advantages:

  • Real-Time Engagement: Capture experiences as they happen, avoiding recall bias.
  • Increased Response Rates: Notifications catch participants at convenient times, leading to higher engagement.
  • Contextual Relevance: Context-aware notifications mean more detailed and situation-specific data.

Scheduling with Precision

The platform's scheduling feature is akin to having a personal assistant for your study, one that knows the best times to reach out to each participant.

How It Works:

  • Set It and Forget It: Define your survey schedule, and ExpiWell takes care of the rest.
  • Participant Time Zones: Automatically adjusts to the participant's local time, making it globally efficient.
  • Recurring Schedules: Set up daily, weekly, or custom repeat intervals for longitudinal studies.

Customizable for Your Study's Rhythm

Every study has its own rhythm, and ExpiWell's notification system is built to sync with it. Whether you need to send out a burst of questions multiple times a day or a weekly check-in, the customization options are there.

Flexibility Features:

  • Tailored Frequency: Choose how often notifications are sent out based on the needs of your research.
  • Adaptive Timing: Adjust the timing based on participant feedback or preliminary data insights.
  • Participant Preferences: Allow participants to select windows of availability for receiving notifications.

Beyond the Ding: Engagement That Lasts

It's not just about the initial notification. ExpiWell's system is designed to keep participants engaged over the course of the study.

Engagement Strategies:

  • Reminders: Gently nudge participants who haven't responded, increasing the likelihood of completion.
  • Motivational Messages: Send encouraging words or information about the study's progress to keep participants motivated.
  • Feedback Loops: Share results or thank-you messages post-survey, fostering a sense of contribution and community.

By tapping into the power of timely and relevant engagement, it opens the door to a new level of data quality and participant interaction. In the world of research, where timing is everything, ExpiWell ensures that you're always right on schedule.
