Introducing Mosio Tags: Automating REDCap Workflows
Mosio has launched a new feature called Mosio Tags, designed to streamline the automation of communications within research studies that use REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture). This feature brings a powerful layer of automation, helping researchers improve communication efficiency while reducing manual intervention.
Mosio Tags allow researchers to trigger specific workflows in Mosio’s automated text messaging system directly from REDCap events. By automating reminders, follow-ups, and other communication processes, Mosio Tags make study management smoother and more reliable, especially in environments where ongoing participant engagement is essential.
What Are Mosio Tags?
Mosio Tags are unique identifiers or “triggers” that researchers can add to REDCap projects. These tags are linked to specific study events or participant data, allowing Mosio’s automation system to initiate predefined actions based on them. This feature is especially useful for studies involving complex schedules, multiple touchpoints, or high participant volumes.
How Do Mosio Tags Work?
When a predefined event occurs in REDCap—such as a participant completing a form or reaching a certain milestone—a Mosio Tag triggers the corresponding automation in Mosio. This could include sending reminders for follow-up visits, distributing questionnaires, or delivering important study updates. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and benefits of Mosio Tags:
MOSIO TAGS: HOW TO GUIDE AND VIDEO
Key Features of Mosio Tags
– Seamless REDCap Integration
Mosio Tags integrate directly with REDCap, enabling automated text messaging based on triggers from REDCap events. This ensures researchers can continue to use REDCap for data collection while automating communication tasks via Mosio.
– Automated Text Messages
With Mosio Tags, participants receive timely messages triggered by study events, reducing the need for manual communication. These automated texts could be appointment reminders, health surveys, or instructions related to the next steps in a study.
– Improved Participant Engagement
Automating communication through tags ensures participants remain engaged throughout the study. Automated follow-ups or reminder texts help to improve response rates, ensuring that participants stay on track with their schedules.
– Efficient Communication Management
By reducing the need for manual intervention, Mosio Tags help research teams manage their communication workload more effectively. Study coordinators can focus on higher-value tasks while automations handle routine messaging.

Benefits for Researchers and Study Coordinators
– Time-Saving Automations
Mosio Tags eliminate the need for manual follow-up reminders or routine messages, allowing research teams to focus on critical study tasks. Automating these routine communications saves valuable time, especially in large-scale studies.
– Consistency in Participant Messaging
Automations triggered by Mosio Tags ensure participants receive consistent, timely messaging. This is particularly beneficial in studies that require multiple touchpoints, where consistency and timing are crucial for maintaining participant engagement.
– Scalable Communication for Large Studies
In studies with hundreds or thousands of participants, manually managing communications can become overwhelming. Mosio Tags allow communication to be scaled efficiently, ensuring that each participant receives the right message at the right time, without manual effort from the research team.
– Easy Setup and Management
Setting up Mosio Tags is straightforward, with a user-friendly interface for configuring triggers and corresponding messages. Research teams can easily manage and adjust their tags and automations as the study progresses.

Applications of Mosio Tags in Research
Mosio Tags are particularly valuable in clinical research environments, especially those with high participant involvement and complex communication needs. Here are a few examples of how Mosio Tags can be applied:
– Longitudinal Studies
Researchers can use Mosio Tags to automatically remind participants about follow-up appointments or surveys over long periods, ensuring consistent engagement.
– Health and Wellness Studies
Mosio Tags can be triggered based on specific health milestones or feedback from participants, prompting automated check-ins or survey distribution based on health data logged in REDCap.
– Behavioral Research
In studies that monitor behavior changes, Mosio Tags can trigger motivational messages or prompts when participants reach certain goals, helping to maintain motivation and participation.

In conclusion, Mosio Tags provide an efficient, scalable, and customizable way to manage study communications, particularly for researchers using REDCap. By leveraging this feature, research teams can ensure participants receive timely, relevant information and reminders, improving both engagement and the overall efficiency of study management.
