SpaceLog: An app for collecting multi-modal place-based data

Abstract

Collecting multi-modal data in the context of self-reported health relies on a well established inventory of qualitative methods like go-along interviews or photo documentations. Building on and aiming at established workflows of place- based GIS, in this paper, we present our mobile application SpaceLog and an associated dashboard meant to provide a digital means to collect rich multimodal place-
based data (speech, audio, emotions) enabling mixed-method analyses addressing qualitative empirical research on place-based individual wellbeing.
