What is citizen science, and how does it work?

Citizen science is a collaborative approach where community members participate in scientific research. It transforms residents into active participants, turning your community into a powerful source of data and insights for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and public health initiatives. Using our platform, citizens collect data via mobile app or web browser, responding to surveys, logging observations, or connecting wearable devices. This data flows directly to researchers and government decision-makers, enabling evidence-based policy and planning that truly reflects community needs and observations.

Why is citizen science important for cities and governments?

Traditional research methods often miss the granular, real-time insights that only community members can provide. Citizen science fills this gap, enabling cities to monitor environmental changes, track public health trends, and understand behavioral patterns across entire populations or specific neighborhoods—all while building civic engagement and scientific literacy. It empowers governments to make informed, evidence-based decisions grounded in actual community observations.

Who can use this platform?

City governments, municipal planning departments, public health agencies, environmental organizations, universities, and community groups can all use WeGuide for citizen science projects.

Is the platform secure and compliant?

Yes. WeGuide meets leading healthcare and data privacy standards including GDPR, HIPAA, and TGA, ensuring community data is protected with the highest security standards.

Can it integrate with our existing city systems?

Absolutely. Our Integration Engine connects with GIS platforms, city databases, EDCs, EMRs, and analytics tools for seamless data flow.

Is it suitable for multiple languages and diverse communities?

Yes. Our platform supports multiple languages, ensuring all citizens can participate regardless of their background or primary language

Can we run longitudinal studies over multiple years?

Yes. WeGuide is designed for long-term monitoring. Track citizens over months or years, with features for substudy management, re-consent, and sustained engagement.

What types of data can citizens collect?

Citizens can complete surveys, upload photos and videos, log observations, track locations, and connect wearable devices for environmental or health monitoring. Our multi-modal data collection supports form data, wearable data, and environmental data from multiple sources in longitudinal studies.
