What is the Mobile Toolbox?

From the team that brought you the NIH Toolbox^Ò for Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIH ToolBox), comes the Mobile Toolbox (MTB)—an innovative solution for cognitive assessment in the digital age. The Mobile Toolbox is a cutting-edge digital platform designed to bring cognitive and other assessment to mobile devices with ease and accessibility. Our platform offers a suite of scientifically validated tests that can be self-administered remotely, enabling large-scale data collection with minimal burden on participants. 

Why the Mobile Toolbox?

The Mobile Toolbox is an innovative solution for use with participants across the adult age span. It provides validated measures that can be administered anytime, anywhere, leveraging mobile technology to increase reach, efficiency, and engagement in lifespan research. The app is available for both Android and Apple devices and offers a growing library of measures in English and Spanish, including core cognitive assessments inspired by NIHTB tests and a comprehensive library of self-report measures of health and function (e.g., emotion, social, physical), including Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS^®). Built on REDCap’s MyCap platform, Mobile Toolbox empowers researchers to efficiently deploy assessments, securely manage data, and streamline study workflows. By leveraging REDCap’s widely used infrastructure, the Mobile Toolbox ensures efficient data collection, secure storage, and interoperability with existing research tools, empowering researchers to conduct high-quality cognitive assessments with ease.
