Problem
Traditional research methods are often limited to static surveys, which fail to capture real-world behaviors and provide only shallow insights. Researchers also face challenges with data integrity, participant privacy, and the complexity of building interactive experiments that yield richer, more reliable data.
Solution
PEIRA provides a mobile-first platform for designing and conducting surveys, interactive experiments, and behavioral tracking studies. The app leverages smart device sensors for mobile sensing and behavioral data collection, enabling researchers to gather more contextual and dynamic data. PEIRA ensures full participant anonymity and GDPR compliance through its security technology. Additionally, the platform hashes research data into NFTs, making it tamper-proof and verifiable on the blockchain, which strengthens research integrity and simplifies peer reviews.
Target Audience
Primary users are academic researchers, market research firms, and social science professionals who need to conduct interactive studies, collect behavioral data, and ensure high data integrity and participant privacy.
