Product Overview

Effortlessly transform your survey data collection workflows with RTI StudySense™—a comprehensive digital platform designed to simplify participant onboarding, consent management, survey delivery, on-demand compensation, and data collection without requiring custom development. The platform supports researchers at all expertise levels, offering intuitive and centralized tools for decentralized studies tailored to unique research objectives.

Existing tools such as REDCap, Qualtrics, and MetricWire often fail to meet specific research needs, lacking features required for seamless operations or imposing high costs. RTI StudySense™ was developed to address these gaps and provide researchers with a unified solution that integrates advanced tools for participant engagement, study configuration, and robust analytics into one streamlined platform.

The StudySense platform empowers research teams to optimize participant workflows, accelerate data collection, and enable clear, actionable insights through automated and customizable research management tools. Its capabilities are particularly suited for ecological momentary assessments (EMA), adaptive interventions, and other modern approaches to survey-based research studies.
