As a researcher you probably know how hard it is to obtain objective, consistent, and continuous data about cognitive and emotional experiences. The quality of costly research studies of several weeks, or even months, suffer from inaccurate and inconsistent information collected via questionnaires and random spot measurements.
There is a smarter alternative available. The Moodmetric smart ring provides your research team with continuous, real-time data on the autonomic nervous system with consistent accuracy of 83%. It is a research tool that continuously measures stress levels based on the electrodermal activity of skin (EDA) and uploads the data to the cloud. The Moodmetric measurement provides you with accurate results while saving your work time and research costs.

Moodmetric has brought the measuring of EDA from the laboratory to field research. This cost-efficient method enables research to be carried out on large groups for long periods of time. The measurement data tells especially of cognitive and emotional stress. Recently the Moodmetric smart ring has been used for, for example, research on mental load at work, customer experience, and social interaction.
The Moodmetric measurement data is easy to access
In research studies the acquisition and interpretation of data plays an important role. The Moodmetric measurement has been developed to match the needs of field research. When applying the data stored at the Moodmetric cloud, the researcher can both monitor the test persons remotely and to easily download the data any time during and after the study.
Keeping in mind the GDPR requirements is also an important aspect. The researchers and test persons have to define the use of data and how it is managed when the study is completed.
The measurement data is available in different formats
Moodmetric data can be viewed in real time on a smartphone screen. For research use the most convenient way to apply it is to first upload it to the cloud. The cloud visualizations give a quick overview on the data and help in monitoring the device use.
Research group leaders are granted access to the data of their research group only. The data can be analysed anonymously.
From the cloud service the data can be downloaded in CSV or Excel format.
Is it possible to get raw data?
Yes, it is also possible to observe and store raw data. PC and Mobile Scope are tools to capture raw data. The ring does not store raw data but it can be streamed to a PC or a mobile application.
