Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

9.7K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Data Collection I

9.0K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Area of Science:

  • Mobile technology
  • Data science
  • Public health informatics

Background:

  • Previous mobile data collection tools like EpiCollect were limited to single-form questionnaires.
  • Many research applications require more complex data structures, including linked forms and multiple media types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce EpiCollect+, an enhanced mobile data collection tool.
  • To enable the creation of complex data collection projects with hierarchical forms and diverse media types.

Main Methods:

  • EpiCollect+ allows linking multiple forms in linear or branching hierarchies.
  • Supports various media types (GPS, photos, videos, sound, barcodes) and advanced form logic.
  • Project setup and data visualization (maps, charts) are managed via a user-friendly website with drag-and-drop functionality.

Main Results:

  • EpiCollect+ offers greater design complexity and data validation compared to its predecessor.
  • Facilitates the collection and transmission of complex data from mobile devices to a central web database.
  • Successfully implemented in various field projects, notably public health initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa.

Conclusions:

  • EpiCollect+ provides a powerful and flexible platform for complex mobile data collection.
  • Its capabilities extend across diverse fields including education, ecology, epidemiology, and citizen science.
  • The tool simplifies the process of managing sophisticated data gathering projects.
