1. Download m-Path on your phone
m-Path is a totally free tool for researchers and their participants. Download the app or register for the practitioners online dashboard!
m-Path works on almost all Android and iOS phones and tablets. The app needs Google services for notifications, so phones without them (such as most phones sold in mainland China) can’t use m-Path. This means m-Path is currently not suitable for studies in mainland China. Planning a study there? Please contact us: we are working on making this possible.
2. Provide a nickname
Choose a nickname that will help your researcher recognize you. Protect your privacy, do not give your full name.
Your researcher might ask you to use a certain alias to guarantee your anonimity. For instance, your researcher might work with a personal code (e.g. 001, 002, 003, …) for every participant and ask you to use this as your alias.
3. Accept the terms
4. Save your recovery code
Your recovery code is a code that can be used to recover your account on a new device or after reinstalling the app.
Tip: Save your recovery code on another device than your phone, such as on your computer or in your agenda.
5. Add a practitioner
Enter the code or last name of the researcher’s account and press add. Your researcher can also work with an invitation code. In that case, enter the invitation code and press add.
