To learn more about Gene Doe, start by watching this summary video. The investigator tutorials dive into the specifics of configuring REDCap and the Gene Doe dashboard for a demo study. You can also learn about REDCap from their website. After reviewing these materials, if you think that Gene Doe will be a good fit for your project, please use the contact form to inquire. We can arrange for a web or phone conference with your team to discuss details of your project.

Collect dozens of digital biomarkers with Gene Doe. With sensor data, patient-reported data, active tasks, and clinical health records, Gene Doe is able to accommodate ambitious projects.

See a full list of supported digital biomarkers on our Research page, and dive deeper by learning about Apple’s ResearchKit, HealthKit, and SensorKit. Learn about other available features here.

Custom programming will not be required for most projects. If you have a requirement that is not on the list of features, there may be the need for custom programming. We ask that your program financially support the development of new features required for their project. 

Yes! Please ensure that your institution (or a research partner's institution) is a member of the REDCap consortium. Also review all materials outlined in the "Where can I learn more about Gene Doe?” FAQ. If after taking these steps you feels Gene Doe could be a good fit for your project, please submit an inquiry through our contact form. Include as much information as you can about the scope of your project, features you plan to use, and potential requirement for custom programming for features not currently supported.

After submitting an inquiry on the Contact page, our team meet with you to discuss if your study seems to be a good fit for Gene Doe. If your project does not require custom programming, your study can be set up in REDCap in as little as a few hours once you have finalized the study protocol.

If custom features are needed beyond the features currently supported, allow for time for our team to develop these features, which will vary depending on the complexity of the features.

Once your project has been set up in REDCap, the study will be launched in the Gene Doe app, and your team can conduct a testing period as needed. When necessary edits are made and you are satisfied with the study, the app will be published and ready to enroll participants.

There is currently no fixed licensing fee for Gene Doe—fees are determined on a case-by-case basis. Primary factors considered are the need for custom programming, number of participants, and length of study. Our goal is to get as many projects and as many participants using the platform as possible. An important additional goal is to raise funds for continued development, so preference may be given to projects with a budget. Grants are available for researchers and biomedical students with compelling projects and clear dedication. Learn more about licensing fees and our scholarship program here.

REDCap is distributed free of charge to members of the REDCap Consortium. Your institution may charge small fees for consulting and technical support services. Please contact your REDCap administrator for details.

To take advantage of the full spectrum of Apple’s ResearchKit,HealthKit, and SensorKit capabilities, Gene Doe is only supported on iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad, the Apple Watch

Yes, technical support is provided. Please provide one point-of-contact experienced in configuring REDCap identified for your study.
