  • Researcher is able to retrieve all data collected in .csv format
  • Researcher is able to view participant’s participation record: e-mail address, programs completed, name of the program, date time started, date time concluded and ongoing program, number of random surveys completed, number of sessions completed, number of post-session surveys completed
  • Other data collected from participant should include age, gender, country of origin, heart rate
  • Researcher will be able to downsize the podcast should it be deemed too large (in storage size)


Participant Module

Podcast Sub-module

  • Participant can view all programs available but can only sign up for 1 till he/she completes all sessions in the selected program
  • Participant can opt-out of the program before or halfway through it, but a warning message will pop up and participant will have to restart the program if he/she choose to re-attempt the program
  • Participant is able to pre-download the podcast before the session and play it later on
  • Each program consists of multiple sessions (up to 14) with 1 podcast each, ETA 10 minutes to MAX 20 minutes
  • Podcast can be pre-downloaded by participant and play it later on
  • If participant chooses to rewind the podcast, the podcast will be played from 00:00:00 and Start Time will be reset
  • Downloaded podcast will automatically be deleted upon session completion


Post-session Survey Sub-module

  • The post-session survey will be prompted immediately after the podcast has ended
  • The post-session survey questions remain the same throughout all program and sessions
  • If the survey has not been completed yet, it will prompt again at the 30th minute mark after the podcast has ended


Random/Beeper Survey Sub-module

  • A random survey will be prompted 3 times per day to the participant on top of the post-session survey (eg. 3 random + 1 post-session survey)
  • If participant did not complete any session/podcast after starting the program, random survey will still be prompted 3 times per day
  • In addition, a pre and post-program survey will also be introduced for each program and only be prompted at the start of first session and after the last session
  • Post-session and random survey includes questions such as:
    • How difficult was it for you to stay focused during this session? (Range: Not at all, Moderate, Extremely)
    • How are you feeling right now? (Range: Very Unhappy, Neither, Very Happy) and (Range: Very Claim, Neither, Very Stressed)
    • I currently feel aware of my… … (Range: Strongly Disagree, Neutral, Strongly Agree)
      • Mental activities such as my thoughts and judgments
      • Feelings such as my emotions, moods, and likes/dislikes
      • Environment such as physical surroundings and other people
  • Participant is able to set the timing to be prompted with random surveys with at least 2-hour interval from the previous survey (eg. 9am to 6pm)
  • All survey uses slider for rating and an indication of eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from point to point to improve user experience, unless stated otherwise by Sponsor (eg. Never, Rarely, Regularly)
  • Random survey will expire after 1 hour and will not be available to participant
  • Only 3 random surveys will be prompted to participant within the day even if participant chooses not to attempt to any
  • Based on the wake/start time and sleep/end time entered by the user, 3 blocks of equal duration will be created. A random timing will be picked within each block to prompt user with the beeper survey
  • However, a minimum of 6 hours awake time is needed for random/beeper survey as a beeper survey can only occur 2 hours after another beeper survey
  • Beeper survey should be prompted only after at least 30 minutes from the completed post session survey
  • Random/Beeper survey should be prompted at least 2 hours apart from the previously completed beeper survey.
  • However, if the participant were to complete a post-session survey in-between 2 beeper surveys, the application will compute whether there is at least 30 minutes left in the block for the next beeper survey or the sleep/end time before prompting the next beeper survey.
  • If there is less than 30 minutes left in the current block, the next beeper survey will be missed. It will then move on to the next block if there are any after the current block.


Manage Notification Sub-module

  • If the participant were to change their awake and sleep timing halfway through the day, the application will compute the 3 new blocks and check how many beeper surveys were completed. If there is still sufficient time to prompt random surveys in the remaining blocks, the change of timing and new blocks will take immediate effect.
  • Else, the change of timing will only take effect in the following day.


The term “random survey” and “beeper survey” is being used interchangeably. For the beeper/random surveys, all items except the difficulty question would be administered.



Secondary Functions

Progress & Analytics Module (for Participant)

  • Participant is able review his/her progress in simplified graphical and statistical view at the end of the entire program based on the calculation metrics given
  • However, the analytics module will not be available to participant who did not complete their selected programs
  • The participant initial progress report will be displayed after each session and it consists of number of sessions completed and amount of time spent in practice
  • The end of program progress report for participant includes graphs of difficulty for each session, graphs of mood from random and post-session surveys; computed by taking the average of unhappy-happy and claim-stress, a graph of background/demographics awareness (one graph for each item) and post-session awareness
70PX
  • Participant will be able to view
    • Number of days taken to complete the program
    • Focus difficulty for each session
    • Mood during random/beeper survey
    • Mood during post-session survey
    • Comparison of mood between random and post-session in average throughout the entire program
    • Heart rate for each session
    • Min, Max and Avg for each session and throughout the entire program
  • Participant’s survey results will be compared anonymously and presented in the progress report (eg. Participant of your age/country are feeling 50% more focused after completing 2 meditation programs)

  • Participant is able to see reminder notification for his/her schedule meditation session
  • Participant is able undergo a short tutorial guide on wearing the wearable correctly to increase the accuracy of data collection such as heart rate monitoring
  • A heart rate test will be available to participant before each session begins, showing their current heart rate. However, the reading will go off since the session begins but being monitored stealthy
  • Integrate pedometer to track participant’s health status and whether it has an impact on meditation results
  • Integrate with ambient temperature sensor to track whether participant’s surrounding plays a part in the overall result
  • Heart rate readings will be recorded down on a 30 seconds interval
  • Assuming each podcast is 10 minutes, the heart rate record for the 1st minute will be ignored (due to calibration and inaccuracy)
  • Heart rate data collected should be presented to participant in Min, Max, Avg at the end of the entire programme as detailed as for each session



Tertiary Functions

Schedule Module

  • Participant is able to schedule his/her next meditation session
