The OpenSpecimen mobile app is designed to run on devices such as phones and tablets. The goal of the mobile app is to make it easy to perform data entry where using a laptop is not convenient.
For example:
Registering participants in a clinic
Consenting participants
Lab staff managing inventory in a freezer room
The app also supports offline data entry, i.e. without network. For example, when users are offsite.
The mobile app is compatible with OpenSpecimen v7.2 and higher versions |
The mobile app supports the following features:
Registering participants under protocols
Collect planned and unplanned visits, specimens
Register participants and collect visits, specimens by scanning barcodes
Custom form/questionnaire data entry at each level
Search participants by MRN and eMPI
Search specimens by barcodes

For the data entry and overview screens, the mobile app uses the same JSON workflow as the web app. Any changes made in the JSON to configure the web-UI will also update the mobile app screens.
The mobile app list view screens can be configured separately. Refer to 'Mobile App Configuration (v2 version)' for more details.
