    REDCap Mobile App

    By Ronald Makanga

    MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit


    What is the REDCap Mobile App?

    • The REDCap Mobile App is an app that can be installed on an


    Android or iOS tablet or mobile device so that data may then be
    collected in an offline fashion on that device.
    • The REDCap Mobile App is a complementary but separate
    tool, used for offline data entry in places having unreliable
    internet service
    • The app is most useful when data collection will be performed
    where there is no Internet service (e.g., no WiFi or cellular
    service) or where there is unreliable Internet service.
