What are the benefits of using smartphone apps for data collection?
Traditional methods of data collection in Epidemiology can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. Smartphone apps streamline this process by allowing users to input data directly into digital platforms. This not only reduces the likelihood of data entry errors but also facilitates the aggregation and analysis of large datasets. Additionally, apps can use sensors to automatically collect health-related data, such as physical activity levels and heart rate, providing a more comprehensive understanding of population health.
