The StudyU platform incorporates the StudyU App and the StudyU Designer.
The StudyU Designer is a web-based application supporting the design and implementation of digital N-of-1 trials for clinicians, researchers, or digital health enthusiasts. With its user-centric design framework, the StudyU Designer improves usability with many supportive features during the study creation process. Notably, it includes a preview function that provides a real-time visualization of the study design. Besides running private N-of-1 trials, seamless collaboration with other researchers is also supported by sharing studies, fostering collaboration and transparency in the spirit of public health and open science.
The StudyU App is a user-friendly application that enables individuals to actively participate in digital N-of-1 trials and obtain personalized treatment advice. Its accessible design approach accommodates users with limited technical skills, allowing them to directly measure the impact of interventions on their health outcomes. By engaging patients in the trial process, the StudyU App promotes patient empowerment and facilitates shared decision-making between researchers, clinicians, and individuals. The StudyU App leverages the capabilities of statistical computing and advanced machine learning models to identify the optimal intervention tailored specifically to your unique needs and circumstances.
The StudyU App is primarily intended for use on smartphones, so it is recommended to download it on a mobile device by using the app store links provided, in order for reminder notifications to work properly. Alternatively, it is also possible to access the StudyU App as a web application if desired.
