Run studies at
the speed of data.
The Cicada Ethos Research Portal is built for academic centers, pharma, and labs running real-world health studies. From study design to participant recruitment to continuous data delivery — one tool, one consent ledger, one audit log.
A study, in one form.
Skip the spreadsheet, the PDF, the email chain. The Studies page launches a single guided form — title, institution, duration, sample size, required metrics, eligibility, rewards, compliance — and you publish to the marketplace when you're ready.
- Set target sample size and application deadlines
- Choose required metrics (HR, sleep, activity, etc.)
- Demographic eligibility & data-use policy
- Manual review toggle for selective approval
