Multimer supports human-centered research through crowdsourced biometric data.

The MindRider Sensor is a custom brainwave sensor designed to maximize comfort and ergonomics over long periods of time. MindRider is just one of several biosensors that integrate with Multimer’s Mobile app: popular smartwatch brands and heart rate monitors are also compatible with the app.

The easy-to-use Multimer mobile app is used to begin and end a data collection session, keep track of the amount of data collected, and even has real-time feedback for certain biometrics. The app uses Informed Consent protocols: users can preview and delete any of their recorded data before they upload it to the Multimer analysis engine.

Multimer’s analysis platform is where it all comes together. Here you are able to monitor and perform simple analyses of real-time neurophysiological data as it is generated for your study. At the conclusion of your study, Multimer delivers the insights you need to answer the questions you have.
