  • Automated system and method to develop computer-administered research questionnaires using a virtual questionnaire model
    Patent number: 7342583
    Abstract: A configurable electronic system provides a software based system by which researchers set up self-monitoring field protocols in a common computer format and deploy the protocols to computer devices to research participants. The system includes electronic software modules of tasks useful in generating of questionnaires for recording research data. By selecting, modifying and sequencing the modules, a researcher generates a sequence of questionnaires to be displayed on the computer devices operated by the research participants.
