Blue Marble has collaborated with over 20 different organizations, including universities, retirement centers and research labs.

We are excited to make this platform generally available for research institutions like yours.

25+ evidence based, standardized electronic patient reported outcomes (e-PROs), with more being added regularly.

112 avatar-guided exercises

38 educational lessons with over 190 five to ten minute classes and quizzess

Platform Features

Intuitive administrator-facing dashboards make it easy to configure study protocols, review participant progress, and export data for further analysis.

Population Health Dashboard

A comprehensive view of your study participant population.

Case Manager Dashboard

An in-depth view of individual patients.

Use Adherence & Assessment Reports

Downloadable data related to exercise adherence and assessment outcomes can be exported to statistical programs for further analysis.

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.

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.

The ubiquity of internet-enabled mobile devices and robust yet easy-to-program operating systems make remote management of research possible.

The Blue Marble Health Platform makes screening, recruiting, and engaging participants simple.

The Platform can scale your efforts. By leveraging our easy-to-download app, you can remotely screen hundreds of potential study participants for potential eligibility.

Potential participants complete digital evidence-based e-PROs in the comfort of their homes using any smart device or computer they are familiar with. Research administrators easily sort the results and determine eligibility.
