Introduction

What is Cozie?

Cozie is an iOS App for human comfort data collection. Users can provide feedback to surveys on the Apple Watch. It is extremely useful for conducting right-here-right-now surveys in buildings. It can, however, be used to ask questions in other settings, allowing people to provide feedback in real-time.

Cozie for iOS builds on the knowledge that the BUDS Lab and the Center for the Built Environment at UC Berkeley gained in developing Cozie for Fitbit.

Apple being one of the major players in wearable devices market and with the Apple Watch dominating the global smartwatch market share, we decided to develop Cozie for iOS.

Cozie for Apple is available on the App Store. Please follow our installation guide to get started.
