Haha. Well, you guys just basically wrote up my presentation for me, so I appreciate it! I think it's going to go well—I’ll let ya know. I think I can confidently and clearly discuss on the topic now. I barely knew anything before coming to this discussion board, so anything is an improvement. I’ll be back if I have any more questions. Who knows, maybe I'll install homebreby marieresearch - Ideas, requests

You were all great, thanks. You’re right—“Is it possible?” is a challenge whereas “is it worth it?” is the more appropriate query. I have a presentation on February 24 about this to my team. Hopefully, I can try to explain my way through this sounding somewhat confident with enough enthusiasm to make it sound like too much effort to be of value.

One last question: So how do you look at the data on a save file without homebew? So, say I just have a regular Wii and I save the gamesave file to an SD card. Is there something that "translates" the data so my computer can read it? I mean, we are already getting their blood, vitals, height and weight at 3 month intervals in the clinic. That should be enough. All in all, I believe thby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
I should clarify: we are purchasing Wiis and giving them to the participants as "compensation" for the study. They are a group of minority, low-income participants who will be recruited from from a clinic. If they don't have a TV, I will probably have to disqualify them from the study, or buy them a TV. The details are still being ironed out. What makes this difficult is that it is aby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
Yes, thank you all. Everyone has been very helpful and kind—not making fun of my lack of Wii knowledge. Basically, I want to talk them out of this plan. Okay, so to summarize, here is what I am coming to: “Without a reliable internet connection, we would need to use SD cards and have the participants physically hand over the data. Two options exist: 1.The participant saves the gamby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
My suggestion was to have them physically give us the gamesave file on an SD card, go back to our review board and just make them sign another consent that says "I understand that the researchers will only look at my Mii file and will delete other Miis etc etc". I think that this is the easiest way. I honestly feel that the quality of data that we get is not going to be worth messing around wby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
Thanks for explaining. That is really helpful. I really do appreciate it. My concern is that less than 10% of our target population has an internet connection. Hell, we don't even know that any of them are going to have TVs. (Note: I did NOT design this study). Is there a solution that doesn't require an internet connection that would be easier than just having them copy theby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
I am research assistant. I am very intimidated by the technical details, as this is not my area of expertise. We are using the Wii Fit Plus with a disparate population to test its affect on health indicators. We already have clinical tests in place at the 1, 3, and 6 month (blood, weight, etc). My team decided that they not only want the clinical data, but they also want the data from the Wby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
I am a public health researcher, so bear with me. I work on a research project with Wii Fit. My team wants to get the participants’ data from Wii Fit. We only want to get the participant-specific data on Wii Fit—nothing else. I suggested that we should just have the participants give us a copy for the game save data on an SD card and then examine it in house. Seems easiest to me. Notby marieresearch - Ideas, requests
