Introduction

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:

1. Registering participants in a clinic

2. Consenting participants

3. 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.
