3. What we’ll discuss today The case for iStuff data collection Introduction to FMTouch How to create an app, by example Syncing data Advanced features Help and resources For this presentation, ‘iStuff’ = iPods/Phones/Pads

4. I. The case for iStuff data collection Examples of sex-health data apps Data collection Field interviews Staff administered First app developed for our group with this purpose Intake at CBO or clinic Staff or client administered Collect info on attendance, risk factors, etc. Jeb Jones from Emory presenting Saturday Monitoring of sex behaviors Client administered Data delivery – won’t be explicitly covered today Interactively deliver interactive sex information, messages, interventions, or resources (directory of services)

6. MSM Venue Screener

7. Assess demographics, behaviors, eligibility for studies

8. Get contact information from those who qualify

9. Screening for multiple research studies simultaneously

13. II. Introduction to FMTouch How do we do this? 2. Transfer database to FMTouch 5. Upload data! 3. Program interacts with participants / clients 4. Collect responses (data) 1. Design graphical database using FileMaker Pro 6. Data managed in FileMaker or other ODBC source. Can be exported for analysis.

14. II. Introduction to FMTouch So what is FileMaker? Desktop relational database program for Macs/PCs Macintosh’s answer to MS Access A visual environment for collecting quality data in tables Use graphical forms (‘layouts’) to collect information using text boxes, check boxes, etc. Scripts let you control input and program flow Easy to use tools for creating tables, layouts, scripts

15. II. Introduction to FMTouch And what is ? An iStuff app that lets you run FileMaker DBs on your iStuff Must make the database on your computer, then transfer to device Before Summer 2010, the only serious database solution available for iStuff FileMaker released FileMaker Go in July 2010 Much closer to desktop version than FMTouch But lacking with certain sync features

16. II. Introduction to FMTouch What do I need to get started? Software FileMaker. Current version is 11. Pro ($200-$300. Free demo.) Pro Advanced ($300-$400). Offers DDR export. I will explain later. FMTouch app. ($10 from iTunes store) Hardware WiFi-capable computer (need not be connected to web!) iStuff devices du jour ($200 - $800) All iOS 3 and 4 devices supported Personnel Some knowledge of database structure and programming (light MS Access experience) Could be you after today!! Cost = $$?

17. III. How to create an app, by example Today’s example: Self-administered CBO intake screener The ISIS Center. A place for LGBT teens. Lately, the center has been extremely popular! Would like to give arriving clients an iPod-touch to: Track client information for evaluation (and sponsors) Demographic information Reasons for visit Collect email addresses for Facebook page sign-up Discretely screen for important, sensitive behaviors Indicate message for staff if alarming response

18. III. How to create an app, by example CBO intake screener – Question flow and variable plan Client information Age (pull-down) numeric First name to use at visit text Sexual identity coded as numbers 1 - 6 Services requested Learn about social activities binary number 1/2 (0/1 problematic in FM) Talk to a counselor binary number 1/2 HIV/STD testing binary number 1/2 Other binary number 1/2 Facebook page sign-up Ask if interested in joining Facebook page binary number 1/2 If yes, prompt for email address text Screen for important behaviors Suicidal ideation binary number 1/2 If yes, final screen will indicate a code for staff Also capture Unique interview #, Date, Device ID#, Staff initials

19. I’m going to cheat now and show you the end product … III. How to create an app, by example

20. III. How to create an app, by example CBO intake screener – general design consideration Screen dimensions iPod/Phone = 320 px wide x 460 px tall iPad = 768 x 1004 (portrait) 1024 x 768 (landscape) Interface appearance. Flat vs. 3D Login page One or two questions per screen

21. III. How to create an app, by example Development process overview In FileMaker, create: Tables Data-entry layouts Scripts page jumping and decision-making Save DB as Database Design Report (DDR) not Deutsche DemokratischeRepublik XML document that describes database structure Transfer DDR to FMTouch via WiFi Test it all a lot on device! Modify where needed. Quirky things happen when transfer to iStuff

25. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating tables Create table

26. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating tables Auto-enter last visited Remembers value from previous record. Lets us keep ‘login’ data on each record By value list Restricted to our custom list of values (1,2) Cool trick! ‘phone’ in field name = uses iPhone phone pad ‘email’ = uses email-style keyboard Everything is set with ‘options’… Create variables

27. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating tables Variable options

28. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts

29. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts Text for display Other goodies: Tabs, portals (subforms), web browser, etc. Drawing shapes Buttons Input fields: Text boxes, check boxes, pull-down menus, etc.

30. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts Select one of the 11 layouts in our DB Text Input fields (displaying variable names) Rectangle tool Buttons Inserted graphic (and also converted to button!)

31. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts Right-click! Assigning input boxes to a specific table field…

32. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts FileMaker FMTouch Input boxes render differently on device

33. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating layouts Script run by this button Many, but not all commands are supported

34. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating scripts One script per layout transition or special button

37. Start a new record

38. Hide the pesky menu bar in FMTouch(allows full-screen display)‘New interview’ script in detail

39. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating scripts Header info w/ current interview # Jumps back to page 1 Quit button jumps to login page Button to evaluate the 2 fields, skip to next page

40. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating scripts When push ‘Yes’, run ‘facebook_script’ and send it the value 2. Using buttons to send different values to the same script for processing

41. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating scripts First line of script receives value from Yes/No buttons and sets the ‘facebook’ field in our table

42. III. How to create an app, by example. Creating scripts Set field value If want to sign up, go to email collection page Otherwise, skip to next question ‘Facebook_script’ in detail

43. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Getting your app on your iStuff device: DDRs 1. Save your app as a DDR A Database Design Report (DDR) is an XML document that describes the database’s structure If you have FileMaker Pro Advanced, create in program. If have just Pro, create at www.fmtouch.com 2. Send the DDR to your iStuff device. While FileMaker is running on the PC, we have FMTouch retrieve the DDR file via WiFi. Requires FMTouchplugin for FileMaker to transfer

44. 1. Saving a DDR file in FileMaker Pro Advanced

45. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Open FMTouch 2. Transferring the DDR to iStuff

47. Change preferences (3 DBs are loaded on device) 2. Transferring the DDR to iStuff

48. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Click to add a new DB 2. Transferring the DDR to iStuff

50. A great deal of luck 2. Transferring the DDR to iStuff

51. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Make sure FileMaker is open. Enter your computer’s IP address (easy to find out). Your computer will prompt for which file to upload. Select the file to begin transfer! 2. Transferring the DDR to iStuff

52. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Once DDR uploaded, can adjust DB settings

53. III. How to create an app, by example. DDR Process Lock the DB with a password and encrypt (128 or 256 bit). Lock the DB in a particular orientation DB settings page

54. IV. Syncing data Syncing data to the central DB 1 2 3 4 5 Easy! Open your central DB in FileMaker Via FMTouch, each iStuff sends its data via WiFi to the central DB Clear devices of data after sync.

55. IV. Syncing data For our needs, we only send records But there may be situations where you want to carry around your entire DB contents on your iStuff app! 2. Sending records to central FileMaker DB

56. IV. Syncing data 3. Clear devices of data after sync.

60. FileMaker serves as ‘front-end’ and data actually stored in:

61. Access

62. MS SQL Server

63. Excel

64. Your web server

65. SAS

66. Anything!!What we do

67. V. Advanced features Advanced features FileMaker Server = sync from anywhere via Web Fancy data collection, using iStuff hardware Photo capture – diagnostic aid? Barcode scanning – laboratory uses? GPS - geolocation apps? Voice capture – notes, interviews, etc… Email sending from apps and email exports Web browser integration App compiling service – FMTouch Enterprise Create your own deliverable app, available on iTunes store User doesn’t need FMTouch Might be very helpful for intervention/message/data delivery

68. VI. HELP! HELP!!
