About Centralive

We are passionate about supporting researchers in making discoveries that improve lives and strengthen communities across the globe. We believe impactful research thrives on modern, efficient methods.
Our platform enables researchers to build dynamic living labs. It is designed to streamline every aspect of research in real-world settings. From integrating wearable and mobile sensors to facilitating mobile app-based surveys, ecological momentary assessments (EMA), context monitoring, adherence tracking, digital interventions, and advanced data analytics, we offer a comprehensive suite of tools.

Our Mission

At Centralive, our mission is to make the creation of living labs simple, accessible, and efficient for healthcare researchers. We are dedicated to enabling researchers to focus on what truly matters—advancing groundbreaking research—by eliminating the burden of manual, non-research-related coordination tasks. By modernizing research methodologies, we provide adaptive and personalized interventions that drive innovation, enhance study outcomes, and transform the landscape of healthcare research.

Our Story

Centralive began its journey as ZotCare, an academic platform developed at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) within the Institute for Future Health (IFH).
It was created with a clear mission: to advance impactful research through modern methods and seamless integration into real-world environments. As ZotCare grew, it supported numerous research groups at UCI and their global collaborators.
Centralive was reimagined to deliver industry-grade, user-friendly services to researchers worldwide. Our platform is designed to empower you, turning research into real-world impact.
