Using JSON and HTML files, a simple app can be built that will include the onboarding flow (Study Overview/Consent/Sign Up) and an Activities screen with scheduled tasks for the user. Researchers will also be able to reuse existing ResearchKit AppCore resources, <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/ResearchStack#things-to-look-out-for-when-converting-your-researchkit-app">with some minor changes</a>.
74 </p> 75 76 <p> 77 Included graphing libraries facilitate data visualization. ResearchStack also has tools to allow easy on-disk encryption and strives to be extensible so that researchers can implement or modify screens they need. 78 </p> 79 80<h3> 81 82 <a id="how-to-port" class="anchor" href="#how-to-port" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>I have an existing ResearchKit app, how do I port it to ResearchStack? 83</h3> 84 85 <p> 86 Not all ResearchKit apps were made equal but, if your ResearchKit app was built using the 'AppCore' JSON schemas and other assets, you can adapt those over to work in ResearchStack with minimal effort. Along those lines, the <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/SampleApp">SampleApp</a> is an excellent, lightweight implementation of AppCore assets into ResearchStack to reference. 87 </p> 88 89 <p> 90 We are also currently working to develop tutorials on adapting ResearchKit apps to ResearchStack but, in the meantime, probably the best reference is to look at actual implementations of ResearchKit apps to ResearchStack. The open source <a href="https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/MoleMapper">iOS</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/MoleMapperAndroid">Android</a> repositories for <a href='https://www.ohsu.edu/xd/health/services/dermatology/war-on-melanoma/mole-mapper.cfm'> OHSU's MoleMapper</a> are good examples to start with (particularly if your app uses Sage Bridge for a backend). 91 </p> 92 93 <p> 94 If your ResearchKit app was <i>not</i> built using the features of AppCore, the road ahead involves a bit more work but should still be familiar to you, since the naming schema and APIs of ResearchStack are deliberately similar to those of ResearchKit. A good place to look is the <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/BackboneExampleApp">Backbone ExampleApp</a>, which sticks a bit closer to the "metal" of the ResearchStack framework. 95 </p> 96 97 <ul> 98 <li> 99 <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/SampleApp"> 100 SampleApp (ResearchStack) 101 </a> 102 </li> 103 <li> 104 <a href="https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/MoleMapper"> 105 MoleMapper ResearchKit source code (iOS) 106 </a> 107 </li> 108 <li> 109 <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/MoleMapperAndroid"> 110 MoleMapper ResearchStack source code (Android) 111 </a> 112 </li> 113 <li> 114 <a href="https://github.com/ResearchStack/BackboneExampleApp"> 115 Backbone ExampleApp (ResearchStack) 116 </a> 117 </li> 118 </ul> 119 120<h3> 121 <a id="documentation" class="anchor" href="#documentation" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Where's the documentation? 122</h3> 123 124 <p> 125 ResearchStack has two primary modules. Backbone contains the core ResearchStack functionality and is designed to follow the APIs laid out in Apple's ResearchKit core as closely as possible. Skin is an application framework that implements the functionality of ResearchKit's AppCore. Links to the Javadocs for both Backbone and Skin are below; be aware that the documentation is itself a work in progress.
