Let’s be honest: research is challenging.

Gathering data? Even more so. And for participants, adding another challenge to their day isn’t ideal. But what if it was seamless, insightful, and even enjoyable?

That’s why we created Citizen Scientist. Our app sparks curiosity, drives engagement, and effortlessly collects both active and passive data—ethically and efficiently. Researchers gain powerful insights, while participants, it offers daily discoveries, helping them understand how their surroundings and activities affect their mental health.

Our goal is to advance mental health research by exploring individual lived experiences through innovative smartphone technology. Join us in transforming mental health research.

The journey starts here.
