Data capture & analysis software advice?

[Guest guest]

Do you have experience with this type of software?

I am looking for software I can use to collect & analyze therapy

data. I understand there is technology for recording responses

using a PDA. It includes: entering and computing response measures

(push a button and get rate, etc); hearing reminders to observe at

variable or fixed intervals (beeps); reminders for reinforcement

schedules; and interfacing with a computer to graph results.

By Googling, I have only found two products apparently for sale.

One that appears to be a simple program for home use is

called " Gentle Reminder. " It appears to be an old program running on

an older Palm Pilot model PDA, but looks more like a reminder than a

collector/analyzer of data. www.gentlereminder.com

The other is described generally on mydatadecision.com, but I can't

get into the pages showing what it does. Have any of you had

experience with this?

I have also found some research from Georgia Tech which describes

the use of a program called Abaris, as well as experiments

using " CareLog " to do FBAs from videos. Nowhere have I found the

software or hardware specifically for sale that was described in

these experiments.

If you know of software and/or devices that could be used for any of

these functions (mainly capturing, recording, analyzing data), I

would love to hear about what you think of them. I know they're out

there, but not how to find one specifically to meet my needs.

Thanks for any suggestions,
