Bridge is a platform that supports researchers in conducting remote, sensor-based data collection in clinical research studies with the goal of gathering real-world evidence and lived experience data. Bridge is composed of HIPAA-compliant web services and multi-language SDKs that facilitate:

• enrollment and capture informed consent to participate in research
• design and scheduling of study surveys and interactive sensor-based tasks
• acquisition and secure transfer of multiple data types (including surveys, sensors, audio, video)
• participant management and tools for study coordinators to track study registration and adherence
• the de-identification and storage of study data in our collaborative data science environment, Synapse

Bridge has been in active use since Day 1 of the ResearchKit and ResearchStack frameworks and it facilitates many ongoing and completed research studies.

Researchers wanting assistance with the design or execution of a mobile research study should contact us at info@sagebase.org. Software engineers interested in developing apps using this service should check out our Bridge Developer Portal for documentation, tutorials, and links to code repositories.
