Disadvantages of Mobile Data Collection Sample Clauses

Disadvantages of Mobile Data Collection. One of the greatest disadvantages to mobile data collection was found to be the greater up front time and effort needed for setting up, programming and testing surveys. Many investigators were unprepared for the amount of testing and planning that needs to occur before a survey can be fielded on mobile devices. This can be partially attributed to inexperience, but also to habits formed from working and editing paper questionnaires up to the very last moment[31, 38, 42, 48, 50, 53, 54, 56, 67]. Because of the nature of working with mobile devices technical support may require specially trained technicians or computer programmers [43, 48, 49, 54, 69], which can cause problems in deployment or troubleshooting. Unfortunately, several studies did report programming issues in the field that negatively impacted their studies [42, 46, 52]. Technical malfunction of devices [1, 31, 49, 69] did sometimes occur, as did theft and loss of devices [46, 52, 61]. Worst of all, several studies reported actual data loss [42, 46, 50, 52, 61, 62] . Privacy and security issues were a concern of many studies particularly where sensitive or personally identifiable data were concerned, but most studies handled these issues by using encryption, passwords, and other security measures[13, 61, 62, 66, 70]. One disadvantage to beginning development of mobile data collection software was found to be uncertainty about the kind of software and hardware in which one should invest [13]. The quickly changing marketplace leads to the rapid obsolescence of devices [46, 49], which can make committing to an operating system or specific devices difficult. While many users and interviewees found the use of PDAs or smartphones a positive experience compared to paper, there were some that had a more negative experience [46, 55]. The lack of a paper backup in case of power failure was uncomfortable for some users and project supervisors [46]. Also, some did not like the inflexibility and inability to take notes or further explain answers in margin as one would with a paper questionnaire [42] Some of the disadvantages reported concerned the devices themselves. Of these, limited battery life was the greatest concern, especially as access to reliable electricity while in remote or underdeveloped areas can be a common occurrence [13, 52, 53, 56]. The limited screen size was another major concern as the limited real estate caused crowded screens or awkward scrolling or navigation [42, 64, 65, 68]. The lac...
