title: 'carwatch: Processing of ''CARWatch'' Sampling Logs and Saliva Data'
version: 1.0.1
abstract: Import and reconstruct saliva-sampling studies recorded by the 'CARWatch'
  application. Registration metadata and raw barcode events are converted into auditable
  study days and scheduled sample positions using a two-pass issue-review workflow.
  Functions assess sampling-time compliance, merge laboratory saliva measurements,
  calculate response features, and create quality-control visualizations. The application
  is described by Richer et al. (2023) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2023.106073>.
