TigerAware
Empowering Pharmaceutical Research with Real-Time Data Mastery

In the rapidly evolving realm of pharmaceutical research, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. Organizations are trying to achieve this by enhancing their data collection, analysis, and application methods. Helping them make this happen is TigerAware, a cross-platform system designed for real-time data collection from participants as they navigate their daily lives.

TigerAware empowers researchers and institutions with distinctive solutions – a comprehensive mobile data collection toolkit, internal/external device integration, and a team deeply immersed in relevant domains. These offerings span various research areas, including social and medical sciences, such as psychological studies on emotions, behaviors, substance use, campus climate tracking, and pharmaceutical trials. Its most notable impact is in pharmaceutical research, where it enables real-time monitoring of medication effects on participants’ emotional well-being, particularly antidepressants.

“Whether it’s gaining insights into substance effects on the human body, gauging participants’ sentiments regarding specific substances, or meticulously tracking day-to-day mood fluctuations, our platform proves invaluable for researchers,” says Will Morrison, president of TigerAware.

A standout aspect of TigerAware is its sophisticated notification system, which offers randomized and scheduled notifications, reminders, follow-ups, and offline notifications. These features elicit organic participant responses, casting a revealing light on their daily lives and emotions. Researchers can schedule follow-up notifications, enabling precise tracking of behavioral and mood changes, especially in response to events like substance use.

In addition to traditional survey responses, TigerAware incorporates advanced sensors like breathalyzers. Participants can measure blood alcohol content with a breathalyzer, while gait data aids in predicting alcohol content based on walking patterns – a methodology akin to police field sobriety tests. This adaptability allows TigerAware to foster close collaboration with researchers, enabling the creation of surveys finely tuned to unique research objectives.

Its reach extends to Android and iOS devices, serving researchers and participants with ease. It empowers them to craft online surveys featuring diverse question types.

It supports conditional branching, directing participants to tailored follow-up questions based on their responses.

The platform empowers researchers with a rich data analysis toolkit. It provides detailed information on notification timing, enabling them to understand participant interactions more deeply. Researchers can visually interpret participant responses through graphical representations, track response frequencies, and conveniently export survey data in CSV format for comprehensive analysis.

Data privacy and compliance are at the forefront of its operations. To ensure stringent regulatory standards, the platform employs a robust system that generates anonymous user IDs, separating a participant’s identity from their data. This approach effectively confines most regulatory concerns to personally identifiable data. TigerAware’s secure data storage, primarily hosted by Google, aligns with technical regulations such as SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance.

Whether it's gaining insights into substance effects on the human body, gauging participants' sentiments regarding specific substances, or meticulously tracking day-to-day mood fluctuations, our platform proves invaluable for researchers.

It typically collaborates directly with universities and hospitals for regulatory needs, but in one instance, a client employed a law firm to ensure stringent compliance. TigerAware’s engineering team swiftly adapted the platform to meet their requirements and integrated necessary features, ensuring the study started on time.

The platform is incredibly agile and adaptable. It can seamlessly incorporate new sensors, often completing the process within a month. This unparalleled flexibility is valuable, particularly for pharmaceutical companies and researchers seeking personalized sensor solutions to meet research demands.

Behind such capabilities is a team of computer science and psychology experts deeply rooted in the academic prowess of the University of Missouri. The genesis of this platform can be traced back to a research lab specializing in crafting customized survey apps for various organizations.

TigerAware’s commitment to research excellence is unwavering. The team intimately comprehends researchers’ challenges and pledges rapid responses, typically within 24 hours. Recognizing the mission-critical nature of research projects, the company places paramount importance on delivering dependable support, ensuring a seamless research process.

The agility and dedication to research make it an invaluable partner for those pushing scientific boundaries. In the dynamic world of research, TigerAware is a transformative catalyst, propelling toward a brighter future of scientific understanding.
