🏔️ Planning a mountain tour above 2,500 m this autumn? Help us test HAMIX!
We are looking for hikers and mountaineers who would like to test the pre-release version of the HAMIX app during a real mountain tour before the end of October 2026.
HAMIX allows you to record your route, vital signs and altitude-related symptoms during your tour and gives you access to evidence-based information about high-altitude medicine.
By testing HAMIX in the field, you can help us evaluate how well the app works under real-world conditions — and contribute valuable data for future research in high-altitude medicine.
You can participate if:
you are planning one or more tours above 2,500 m with an overnight stay before the end of October;
you use an Android phone or an iPhone with iOS 16 or newer;
you are willing to use HAMIX during your tour;
and you can complete a 10–15 minute usability questionnaire afterwards.
Interested?
