The Caregiver Registration app has a single purpose: to enable registered research study participants to submit the study ID number they have been assigned. Doing so enables researchers at Michigan State University to link participants use of the five cybermeditation apps with their study ID number.
We do this by uploading what is called a unique "vender ID." All of the apps from Mindtoon Lab have a common vendor ID on your mobile device. So when you open the Caregiver Registration app and enter your Study ID, then we can associate the vendor ID on your device with your Study ID.
During the study, registering with this app allows you to get "credit" each time you open and complete a cybermeditation app.
