uPMT is aimed at researchers using microphenomenology interviews (also know as explicitation interviews) to study lived experience. It has been designed to help analyze the micro-dynamics of experience as described in interview transcriptions, by modelling and formalizing the sequential unfolding of “experience moments” described with categories and properties, and linked to the descriptemes - excerpts of the transcript - that justify them.

The new version of the tool takes advantage of the full redesign of the data model, modern web technologies, and senior development thanks to a funding by Mind and Life Europe (Varela Award).

The experience model is built on the left, the interview transcription is available on the right. The experience is described in the central part of the tool, as a hierarchical sequence of moments, further described by hierarchical synchronic models.
