We recommend that you complete the following steps, in order, when creating your study:
...
Insight conceptualizes Stages as periods of time. The Stage feature allows you to present different questions and intervention content and use different Insight features at different time points in your study. You can include as many stages as you like.
Note |
---|
Stages are directly linear by default in each Study. Each Participant starts in the top-listed first Stage in the Study, and progresses through each Stage in a linear manner based on the conditions to complete each Stage. The Stages listed in order in the CMS is the order of the Stages that will progress in the Study. The additional Setting “Branching Logic → Branch-to-Stage“ is designed to allow Study Stages to progress in a non-linear (sometimes “circular stage“) manner. |
Click the Events tab.
Click Add to create a new Stage.
Type a name for your stage in the Name textbox.

We recommend that the first stage of any study be a “Start Study” Stage. The Start Study stage will standardize the study experience for all participants and will set the first day of your study for each participant. The Start Study stage should contain a Start Study assessment that includes the question: “Do you want to start the study now?” (Yes = 1; No = 0). The Formula stage change type should be used to move the participant to the first day of the study (type [start_study]==1 into the End Date Formula field). See video below to see an example for creating the Start Study stage. |

You can ask baseline questions during the Start Study stage that can be used to drive question, message, and intervention content. For example, you can ask “What is your sex?” during the Start Study stage and use the answer to this question to select appropriate sex-based questions for the duration of your study – For women: “During the past week, how many days did you drink 4 or more alcohol containing beverages?”; for men: “During the past week, how many days did you drink 5 or more alcohol containing beverages?” To enable this feature, use the LAST command when creating the skip pattern for a question within an assessment. The participant’s answer to the question the last time it was answered will be used to inform the skip logic – see Formulas section to learn more. |

Under Schedule Type, select Random. Random events can be scheduled for specific days of the week (i.e., Weekly) or they can be scheduled for specific days of a stage (i.e., Stage Offset).
Scheduling Features
Reschedule Assessments - There are two ways to reschedule prompted events (e.g., Fixed Events, Random Events): Snooze and Event Reschedule Settings. These features give participants another opportunity to complete assessments that may be prompted at inconvenient times.

The GPS tracking event enables researchers to collect GPS coordinates regularly. This feature is also called Breadcrumb Trail GPS Tracking.
Under schedule name, type the name for this event (e.g., GPS tracking), then assign this feature to particular study groups. Under Scheduling Type select “GPS Tracking.” Then in the Cadence in minutes textbox, type the frequency (in minutes) that GPS (i.e., latitude, longitude, accuracy) should be collected. |

After you setup a participant on the Insight app, please wait for 15-20 minutes for all the setup to finish. If you start setting up participant on the Outsight app too soon, the connection might not be created correctly. |
5. Download mHealth Outsight from Google Play Store
Choose the Google Play Store app from the participant’s phone

Troubleshooting
Ensure WEAR OS, Insight, and Outsight remain open and running in the background.
If the app is open, Click the “Home” button (typically located at the bottom, center of the phone) to allow the app to run in the background. Example of a Recent window below:
Note: If the app(s) are not displayed in the “Recent” window then the app(s) are closed; this prevents any background operations which hinder collecting sensor data.
Verify there is a connection between the smartwatch and phone.
Open the WEAR OS app on the phone > under the watch name “connected” will appear if the phone and watch are paired.
If WEAR OS signifies there is no connection, reestablish the connection by hitting reconnect
If there appears to be no connection, open Outsight and Insight on the phone.
This can reestablish a connection between Outsight to Insight to allow sensor readings.
Restart the phone and watch if the above methods do not produce the expected results.
Restarting Phone: hold down the power button (typically on the side of the phone) until Restart Phone appears > Click Restart Phone
Restarting Watch: hold down the large middle dial on the side until Restart appears > Click Restart
Attempt to pair multiple phones and watches while thoroughly reading the instructions (starting from 1. Download Wear OS) to gain more experience; doing this can reduce quantity of errors when pairing the phone and watch.
