Data Capture and Management
Daily data capture is essential for studies that require frequent participant interactions, such as collecting morning and evening survey logs for 90 days.
Twilio's SMS service can be used to send automated survey invitations to participants, making it easy to reach a large number of people.
The combination of Twilio and REDCap allows for seamless data management, enabling researchers to track and analyze participant responses in real-time.
With REDCap's automated survey invitations, participants can receive reminders and notifications to complete their surveys, reducing the likelihood of missed data points.
This integration also enables researchers to send survey invitations to participants at a time previously specified by the participant, increasing the likelihood of accurate and timely data collection.

Reminders and Notifications
Reminders and notifications are a crucial part of any study team's workflow, and Twilio and REDCap make it easy to stay on top of things.
You can use Twilio's SMS service to send appointment reminders to participants, as seen in a study team's use case where they needed to remind participants of upcoming visits.
Having a system in place to send reminders can help reduce no-shows and keep participants engaged throughout the study.
Twilio and REDCap can work together to send reminders automatically, using REDCap's project Alerts & Triggers feature to trigger the reminder message.
This can be particularly helpful for long-term studies where participants may need to attend multiple visits over several weeks.
In one example, a study team used Twilio and REDCap to send reminders to participants 3 days in advance of their next visit, helping to ensure they attend and stay engaged.

Population and Instrumentation
To populate a survey on the BRAVO Survey Platform, you can automatically import it from REDCap, which is designed in the form of an "Instrument". Each survey can be exported in CSV format.

The imported survey will be public and accessible outside of the private network where REDCap resides. This allows you to create a public survey that can be accessed by anyone.
After populating the survey, you can click "Save Changes" to save all the content to the server, which will also associate the redcap instrument question_id with each respective question. This makes it easier to submit survey records to the REDCap server via Twilio Integration.
Only multiple-choice, slider, and text/description questions are currently parsed from the survey, as those are the only question types designed on the platform.
