Short description/annotation:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has designated the topic of real-time data capture as an important and innovative research area. As such, the NCI sponsored a national meeting of distinguished research scientists to discuss the state of the science in this emerging and burgeoning field. This book reflects the findings of the conference and discusses the state of the science of real-time data capture and its application to health and cancer research. It provides a conceptual
framework for minute-by-minute data capture- ecological momentary assessments (EMA)- and discusses health-related topics where these assessements have been applied. In addition, future directions in real-time data capture assessment, interventions, methodology, and technology are discussed.
Long description:
The set of methodologies known collectively as real-time data capture (RTDC) is increasingly important in many of the health sciences. This book is the first to focus on RTDC techniques. Based on the collection of real-time data in people's typical environments, RTDC is primarily used with self-reported data, such as medical symptoms and psychological states, but its guiding principles and supporting technologies also provide a framework for scientists to monitor physiological
information such as heart rate, blood pressure, and skin conductance. Contributions from top researchers explain the conceptuial underpinnings of RTDC, discuss how to implement it and analyse the resulting data, and present an array of projects that illustrate the methodology's broad utility. This volume gives the most complete view yet of the state of RTDC science and its potential for use across the health and behavioural sciences.
A cutting-edge text that brings together the researchers who have been most active in shaping this vital technique to effectively demonstrate the opportunities it provides, The Science of Real-Time Data Capture will be of interest to health scientists of all kinds.
