EpiCollect+: linking smartphones to web applications for complex data collection projects

Abstract: Previously, we have described the development of the generic mobile phone data gathering tool, EpiCollect, and an associated web application, providing two-way communication between multiple data gatherers and a project database. This software only allows data collection on the phone using a single questionnaire form that is tailored to the needs of the user (including a single GPS point and photo per entry), whereas many applications require a more complex structure, allowing users to link a series of forms i… Show more

“…A grande difusão dos dispositivos móveis -principalmente smartphones e tablets (Cisco, 2016) -permitiu que softwares baseados em tecnologia livre, como é o caso do sistema operacional Android, estivessem presentes em grande parte destes aparelhos de uso pessoal (Aanensen et al, 2014). O aperfeiçoamento dos SIGs de código aberto, enquanto programas de computador na forma de aplicativos para estes novos objetos técnicos, é um incentivo para a extensão do trabalho em meio digital nos estudos de campo.…”
