An important method in our development of Gene Doe is the integration of suitable technologies produced by major organizations with substantial resources to provide ongoing support and development. As a result, our work focuses on combining these technologies in a useful manner. We believe this approach is responsible for the unmatched feature set available in our platform.

Gene Doe integrates REDCap with Apple's iOS, ResearchKit, and HealthKit for rapid and inexpensive deployment of mobile apps for medical research. Investigators use tools they already know to produce robust and high-quality iPhone, iPod, and iPad apps to capture patient reported outcomes, sensor data, and results of partially controlled activities performed by the participant. Integration of Apple Health Records allows collection of comprehensive Electronic Health Records directly from a participant's care providers. Protocols can be implemented in hours, with no requirement for computer programming resources. The platform has been used in over fifty projects at a dozen academic medical centers in the USA and Canada.
