Customized ACASI, CAPI and CASI Data Collection Systems for Netbooks

Easy, Portable
Data Collection Tool!

ACASI Developers under the direction of Alice Tang, MS, PhD, Associate Professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, can create a customized ACASI, CAPI or CASI system for your data collection needs which can be used on the latest netbook computers.

Your study data collection system can fit in your hand!

Much better than a palm-based solution, our ACASI/CAPI/CASI systems allow for more screen space which is better suited for interactive questions.

Audio can also be incorporated.

Shown below are some samples of our custom ACASI, CAPI and CASI systems by our ACASI programmers created in multiple languages such as English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. For more information on having a custom data collection system built for you, contact Dr. Alice M. Tang (617.636.2140).
