Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating health research through enhanced communication between research participants and researchers. Methods include communication of information related to a research study to a portable computing device of a research participant by use of an application framework and one or more modules. The one or more modules may be provided with the application framework or may include one or more modules from third-party researchers so as to allow standardization of communication from multiple research studies and differing research facilities.
