This paper provides a description of the MyCap data collection platform, utilization metrics, and vignettes associated with use from diverse research institutions. MyCap is a participant-facing mobile application for survey data collection and the automated administration of active tasks (activities performed by participants using mobile device sensors under semi-controlled conditions). Launched in 2018, MyCap is a no-code solution for research teams conducting longitudinal studies, integrates tightly with REDCap and is available at no cost to research teams at academic, nonprofit, or government organizations. MyCap has been deployed at multiple research institutions with application usage logged across 135 countries in 2021. Vignettes demonstrate that MyCap empowered research teams to explore and implement novel methods of information collection and use. MyCap's integration with REDCap provides a comprehensive data collection ecosystem and is best suited for longitudinal studies with frequent requests for information from participants.
本文介绍了MyCap数据收集平台、使用指标以及来自不同研究机构的使用案例。MyCap是一款面向参与者的移动应用程序，用于调查数据收集和主动任务的自动化管理（参与者在半控制条件下使用移动设备传感器执行的活动）。MyCap于2018年推出，是研究团队进行纵向研究的无代码解决方案，与REDCap紧密集成，学术、非营利或政府组织的研究团队可免费使用。2021年，MyCap已在多个研究机构部署，应用使用记录遍布135个国家。案例表明，MyCap使研究团队能够探索和实施新颖的信息收集和使用方法。MyCap与REDCap的集成提供了一个全面的数据收集生态系统，最适合频繁向参与者索取信息的纵向研究。
