Health and Medicine Research Lab
Whether you are interested in discovering new biomarkers, evaluating therapeutics or improving patient quality of life, our software can give you multimodal insights into patients’ physiology. Additionally, the same software can be used for training and evaluating practitioners, capturing their attention and stress levels in real-time. iMotions software facilitates multimodal research by synchronizing data collection from multiple biosensors, allowing clinical researchers to investigate complex research questions in innovative ways. iMotions is at the forefront of innovation and is used by 9/10 of the top 10 universities in the world.
How the Lab Works
- iMotions Lab is the foundation of the setup. It is a single software that runs on a PC computer and allows for study setup, data collection and data analysis.
- External hardware and multiple camera feeds can be connected to iMotions providing a rich in-synch tapestry of data for analysis.
- We are not a hardware company. We have extensive experience with working with many different sensors. Let us help you find equipment that suites your research or get started with hardware you already have.
- Data can be collected in-person or remotely over the internet from participants own devices, useful for telemedicine or remote research.
Compatible with MATLAB, SPSS, E-Prime and more.
Feature Highlights
The Psychology Research Lab is a research platform that provides an end-to-end research pipeline.
Multimodal Data Collection
Collect data from multiple sensors simultaneously in real-time without having to think about data formats or time synchronization. Push the boundaries of your field with new combinations of physiological insights.
Patient Questionnaires
You can add screening tools and assessments to your study using our survey tools. These can be established batteries of questions, patient satisfaction surveys or questions needed for clinical trials. Responses can be used to segment data across modalities.
Annotations, Markers and Visualizations
Our analysis has a visual and timeline-based way of annotating and analyzing your data. You can view both manual and automated markers, and data from multiple sensors simultaneously.
Flexible and Powerful R Notebooks
The algorithms of almost all data processing in iMotions Lab is fully transparent and can be customized, giving you peace of mind that you can communicate your methods in your publications.
Time Saving Automations
AI powered facial expression analysis, automated AOIs, voice analysis, and built-in R notebooks are just some of the features which can save you hundreds of work hours.
Applications in Health and Medicine Research
The Health and Medicine Lab can be customized for your area of expertise.
Physiological Biomarkers
Commonly used physiological tools, such as eye tracking, EEG, and ECG are used in clinical and translational research to complement traditional biomarkers. Physiological biomarkers provide real-time metrics for diagnosing and monitoring diseases as well as investigating disease mechanisms. They can be useful in finding subgroups of patient populations or help explain differences in clinical trial outcomes or therapeutic efficacy.
Medical Training and Simulation
Eye tracking glasses are useful for understanding where procedure experts focus and where their hands are during different stages of a procedure. You can also evaluate students practicing procedures to see what they are paying attention to. Using ECG or Respiration, you can also quantify stress as practitioners perform procedures using arousal-related metrics.
Assistive Technology
Eye tracking and electroencephalography (EEG) are pivotal technologies in brain-computer interface (BCI) and assistive technology research. Combined, these tools are enhancing the quality of life or those mobility impairments or other disabilities.
Evaluating Therapeutics and Understanding Mechanisms
Eye tracking and EEG are increasingly used in clinical research (interventional and observational studies) of
- neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder)
- neuropsychological diseases (e.g. anxiety-, depressive-, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders)
- neurological conditions (e.g. traumatic brain injury and stroke)
- neurodegenerative diseases. (e.g. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s)
ECG and Respiration provide arousal metrics to better understand psychophysiological components of anxiety-, depressive-, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders.
Voice analysis and facial expression analysis can be used to understand emotions and evaluate social interactions in neurodevelopmental disorders.
A Versatile Platform
We can help you figure out the best set-up for your current research questions and resources. iMotions is flexible. As your research progresses and your analyses become more complex or your resources change, your designated Customer Success Manager can help you adjust your customized iMotions Health and Medicine Lab to your upcoming needs.

Remote Data Collection
No space? No problem.
iMotions Remote Data Collection allows you to conduct eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and voice analysis studies with respondents wherever they are, whenever it suits them. This allows you to gather data from various geographical locations and enhances participant accessibility and inclusivity. Being able to collect data remotely often leads to larger sample sizes and greater diversity, improving the generalizability of your results. Remote Data Collection is a secure way to reduce lab-related logistics and costs while fostering a flexible and adaptive research environment.
