About PIEL Survey
A free mobile app for iOS and Android designed for Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and Experience Sampling Method (ESM) surveys. It allows researchers to collect data from participants in their daily lives, minimizing recall bias.
PIEL Survey is a specialized, free mobile application for researchers conducting Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) or Experience Sampling Method (ESM) studies. Available for both iOS and Android, it enables the collection of 'in-the-moment' data from participants in their natural environments. The app supports various survey types, including scheduled and on-demand prompts, and can function offline. A key design principle is data privacy; it uses no third-party servers, storing all data on the participant's device until they actively export it. Researchers create surveys using a text-based control file, which offers flexibility in question design and scheduling. While it lacks a graphical survey builder, it provides a powerful, secure, and free tool for academic and clinical research.
