What is Indacas?
Indacas is a platform for collecting research data. It covers three jobs that usually need three different tools:
- One-off surveys - where you ask a group of people something once
- Participant studies - where you enrol participants, keep a structured record for each of them, distribute surveys and follow them over months or years
- Databases - where you define structured records and record data against them through forms and surveys
Security, compliance and governance are paramount when collecting or recording data, and we make sure they’re not something that can slip through the cracks. Everything within the platform is built around these three pillars:
- Quickly and easily enable 2FA on your study
- Make use of roles based access (RBAC) to restrict what a study member can do or see
- Export data with an optional csv password and sensitive data hidden
- Mark fields and questions within surveys as personal data and then quickly and easily delete all of a partipants personal data (field values and survey answers) with the click of a button
- Easily version and track changes on consent statements and surveys
- See who and when any member of your study took any action within the study (including exporting data)
Every Indacas study comes with these features built in as standard, regardless of price, because they are vital.
Who it’s for
- Researchers — build surveys, run studies, manage participants, and export your data. A researcher profile is free to set up and is what unlocks creating surveys and studies.
- Organisations — a free shared workspace for a lab, department or company. Studies, field dictionaries and members are shared across the organisation, and billing can be centralised.
- Participants — people taking part in a study. Participants join through a study’s public page, work through consent and onboarding, and get their own view of the data held about them.
