Launch your study

Two modes depending on your needs.

Real-time exploration and visualization

Mode Live
Ideal for exploring phenomena and observing
sensor data in real time.

Structured multi-participant studies

Mode Trial
Create and manage a multi-participant study
in real conditions, structured around measurements
and easily exploitable questionnaires.

Analyze your results

Measurements, usage context and participant feedback synchronized automatically - no re-entry, no cleaning.
Your data is ready to analyze, and the equipment is returned at the end of the study.

Sensors, mobile app and cloud platform included
for the entire duration of the study.

Meaningful data, because context is captured

Contextual automatically links every measurement to its usage and environmental context.

Sensor measurements

Capture physical phenomena where they actually happen.

Usage context

Know not just what was measured, but under what conditions.

Participant feedback

Pair objective data with how participants actually felt.

External data

Enrich your analysis with third-party data sources.

All data is automatically synchronized
on the Contextual platform

Measure what couldn't be measured before

From first observation to results you can stand behind

Understand

Observe phenomena where they actually happen
Natively link signal, usage and context
Data that's ready to use from day one

Test

Compare configurations in real conditions
Bring together usage, feedback and measurement
in one place
Iterate fast without rebuilding your setup

Prove

Build credible evidence grounded in real usage
Back your R&D or business decisions with data
Results you can defend, not educated guesses

What makes Contextual different

Synchronized, reliable data

All measurements, events and participant feedback automatically synced in one place, no manual re-entry, no data loss.

Structured, reproducible studies

Protocols, instructions and collection conditions defined upfront so every run is consistent and comparable.

Autonomous participants in the field

The app guides participants throughout the study, reducing errors and supervision needs.

Captured usage context

Sensor data enriched with usage context, measurement conditions and participant feedback - for results you can actually interpret.

New measurable indicators

Innovative sensors combined with usage context unlock indicators that traditional methods simply can't reach.

Turnkey

Sensors, app and platform built to work together - so you can focus on your study, not your setup.

They experiment with Contextual



Contextual gave us access to measurements we simply couldn't obtain any other way - directly in real-life conditions, without compromising scientific rigor.

Dr. Massot,
Associate Professor - HDR
Biomedical Sensors Team, INL



What convinced us was the automatic correlation between sensor measurements and participant feedback.
We were finally able to objectively identify the configurations that were causing problems, without having to reconstruct the context after the fact.

R&D Engineer, Sports Equipment Manufacturer



We needed solid evidence from real usage, not controlled conditions. Contextual let us easily deploy a study with around ten participants at home,
at a controlled cost, and get data we could directly use to support our marketing claims.
