Ideometrics

The Ideometrics platform offers a digital solution for conducting CHNRI (Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative) exercises, streamlining and enhancing the prioritisation of research questions through a structured, interactive, and efficient online experience. Built to digitise the CHNRI method, Ideometrics allows users to create, manage, and analyse research prioritisation exercises with advanced tools and user-friendly workflows.

Key Features and Capabilities

  1. Account Creation and User Management

    • Users can easily create an account, allowing them to access and manage multiple CHNRI exercises from a central dashboard.
    • Account holders have the ability to organise exercises, collaborate with others, and maintain a secure repository of their prioritisation projects.

  2. Exercise Creation and Customisation

    • Users can set up multiple CHNRI exercises tailored to specific research or health-related topics.
    • Each exercise can be customised with unique criteria (such as answerability, effectiveness, and deliverability) that are most relevant to the research field, aligning with the structured CHNRI framework.
    • Users define scoring rules and criteria weights, allowing flexibility and control over how each question will be evaluated.

  3. User Invitation and Collaboration

    • Exercise creators can invite other users, including experts and stakeholders, to participate in specific CHNRI exercises.
    • Invitations can be managed within the platform, making it easy to bring in additional expertise, broaden perspectives, and enhance the robustness of the prioritisation process.

  4. Question Submission and Management

    • Users and invited experts can submit research questions within each exercise.
    • The platform integrates AI-powered tools to help manage and refine submitted questions, with capabilities like question merging, duplication detection, and language standardisation, making question management more efficient.

  5. Question Scoring with Randomisation

    • The platform provides a structured scoring environment where users rate questions against predefined criteria.
    • To minimise bias and ensure fairness, Ideometrics randomises question order during the scoring process, allowing a balanced distribution of questions for each user.

  6. Data Analysis and Results Interpretation

    • After scoring, the platform compiles and analyses the data, generating priority scores for each research question.
    • Ideometrics offers visualisation tools and detailed reports to present findings clearly, allowing users to see ranked priorities and gain insights into which questions are most likely to yield impactful results.

Benefits of Using Ideometrics

By digitalising the CHNRI method, Ideometrics enhances the prioritisation process, making it more accessible, collaborative, and data-driven. The platform offers a transparent, reproducible, and user-centered approach to research prioritisation, helping researchers and decision-makers focus on the most impactful questions within their fields.
