Why most digital health tools fail

Most digital health tools are built for single studies, creating barriers to reproducible science.

Incompatible Data

Each study builds its own app with unique data formats. Results can't be compared and infrastructure investment is wasted.

Consumer Apps Lack Rigor

Popular wellness apps lack research-grade data capture, clinical workflow integration, and the transparency research requires.

Expertise Gap

Even good platforms fail without digital phenotyping experience. Teams struggle with study design and avoiding pitfalls that cause data loss.

mindLAMP solves all three. Not just as software, but as a platform with expert support and 7 years of continuous clinical operation.

Why teams choose mindLAMP

Truly Modular

Configure activities, schedules, study groups, app layout, and phone/wearable sensor data collection without writing code.

Proactive Quality

Real-time monitoring catches issues before data loss. Troubleshoot proactively.

Uniform Data

All configurations produce the same schema. Compare across studies and reproduce methods.

Open Source

Inspect, modify, and extend the code. Adapt as your needs evolve.

10 Languages Supported

English, Spanish, French, Hindi, German, Italian, Korean, Danish, and Chinese.

Flexible Deployment

Shared infrastructure, dedicated instances, or self-hosted for data residency requirements.
