Abstract:
This paper presents a work in progress on the design and development of a user-centered mobile application intended for data collection in Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and longitudinal studies. Focusing on the future implementation of gamification and other engagement strategies, this project aims to mitigate survey fatigue—a significant challenge in sustained data collection efforts. The proposed application will incorporate user involvement throughout its design and development to ensure features that promote consistent and reliable data submission, thereby aiming to reduce the necessity for data imputation and minimize attrition bias. The paper outlines anticipated elements critical to the success of the application, including questionnaire design, strategic incentive usage, and adaptation of surveys to align with user preferences and technological interfaces. Through a planned iterative design and testing process, involving A/B testing and focus group evaluations, the study will seek to determine effective methods for user involvement and develop a mobile tool that closely meets the needs of both researchers and participants.
