The tool enables computer to computer data collection of both, statistical and detailed data.
The use of computer data collection and processing permits a significant improvement in convenience and in sensitivity.
The voltage across the electrodes and the surface temperature were monitored continuously throughout the experiment using computer data collection.
Accommodations mentioned include providing child-care, more clinic availability, including weekends and holidays, utilizing less invasive, more "in-dwelling" procedures (e.g. blood draws done in the home, etc)., and using telephone or computer data collection (versus face-to-face).
Reported examples of handheld computer data collection (HCDC) include monitoring treatment for headache [ 3], pain research [ 4], and research on bipolar disorders [ 5].
The catheter was connected via a T-tube to a syringe pump (KDS250, KDScientific Corp., MA, USA), pressure transducer and amplifier (ML866 and ML224, PowerLab, ADInstruments, CO, USA), recorded on a chart recorder, and digitized for computer data collection (Labchart 7, ADI Instruments: Windows 7 system).
Digital calipers and other sophisticated instruments that load data directly into computers expedite data collection and analysis.
Handheld computers for data collection (HCDC) and management have become increasingly common in health research.
Using handheld computers for data collection was a feasible, acceptable, and preferred method by Chinese interviewers.
Although use of mobile devices, specifically tablet computers, for data collection has many benefits, it also poses new challenges for researchers.
It will be customised via a web application for the purposes of the present work, and will be installed on tablet computers for data collection by research staff.
