We help you choose your devices.

Picking the right hardware is half the battle. Tell us what you're trying to measure and we'll recommend devices we've worked with — or vet new ones if they fit better.

iPhone

iOS smartphones — the workhorse of most studies.

Android

Full Android support — same study, both platforms.

Apple Watch

watchOS — heart rate, activity, on-wrist surveys.

Wear OS

Android smartwatches — for cross-platform cohorts.

Oura Ring

Sleep, HRV, and recovery from a discreet smart ring.

Fitbit

Daily activity, steps, and longitudinal wearables data.

How we approach device choice

  • Start with the measure. What signal does the study actually need — activity, sleep, HRV, GPS, surveys?
  • Match the participant. A consumer wearable lowers friction. A research-grade sensor gives tighter data. Pick what fits your cohort.
  • Plug it in. If the device has an open API, we can route it through the Digital Trails platform. If it doesn't yet, we can add it.
  • Pilot before you commit. We'd rather test a small batch with you before you buy 50 of anything.
Not sure about a particular device? Just ask. Even if it's not on this list, there's a good chance we can integrate it. Get in touch →
