The Blue Marble Health Platform can be an effective data collection backbone to any research program that is evaluating the benefit of an exercise, education, and/or a self-management program.
Research Recruitment
Conducting research in the era of COVID and social distancing can make recruiting participants challenging.
Subjects who must travel on-site may find it unrealistic or impractical to do so, which can lead to research inequities.
Your participant's ability to navigate traffic, weather, and caregiver support can impact their participation in your study.
Studies that last months or even years often need help finding cost-effective tools that keep participants engaged and compliant over a long period of time.
