The Effortless Assessment Research System (EARS) is a behavioral research tool developed by Ksana Health Inc. This mobile sensing application is designed to be used by individuals who have consented to participate in ongoing research studies conducted by EARS.

EARS aims to provide behavioral health researchers with access to users' digital information in order to study patterns in behavior. By gathering information from various sources, such as accelerometer, GPS, keyboard usage, music and media listening, battery state, call status, and sleep data, researchers can gain valuable insights to better support mental and behavioral health and help address mental health challenges.

Ksana Health Inc. is committed to ensuring the privacy and security of users' digital data. They do not sell the data to anyone or use it for targeted advertising. Their Ethics Committee ensures that users agree with how their data is used, their data is kept safe, the benefits of the research outweigh any risks, and users can easily opt out at any time.

EARS Mobile Sensing was selected as part of The Opportunity Project, an initiative focused on using open data to improve the lives of American citizens. With its focus on improving mental health, especially among underserved groups and young people, EARS Mobile Sensing offers a valuable tool for behavioral research.
