movisensXS is a lifestyle app developed by movisens GmbH for Android devices. It is a next-generation research tool designed for ambulatory assessment, which involves using computer-assisted methodology to collect self-reports, behavior records, or physiological measurements while individuals go about their normal daily activities. The app incorporates the experience sampling method (ESM), also known as ecological momentary assessment (EMA), to gather data in real-time.

With movisensXS, researchers can use this versatile assessment tool for various studies. The app requires multiple permissions due to its ability to assess behavioral data. However, it is important to note that researchers are not allowed to collect any data that can personally identify you. movisensXS prioritizes user privacy and stores data in a pseudonymized manner.

Additionally, movisensXS utilizes Accessibility services, which may be necessary for studies involving users with disabilities or for tracking app usage and potentially responding to the apps used. However, this feature is disabled by default and only activated for specific studies that inform users in advance.
