Yes. We measured the size of nail ink mark length with the help of Image Meter app, which is easily available on Android Play store. I’m attaching photo of data that I uploaded here. For measuring length first we have to set reference scale & then in app at the bottom there is double headed arrow by clicking on it we can just drag pointer from starting point to end point.
By this way we can get measurement in few seconds.

Is it possible to take the picture again with either scale or graph paper or another object with known size at the same plane as the finger? This will make measurement accurate, else we may have to do an estimation.

Where should I send/ submit phot of my nail mark?
And with what written details?

Fill your data here!

Can we update these links? @bivasnag @jaikishan @Jai

Can we make the form on kobotoolkit instead of google? @bivasnag Please do this quickly before the link is shared to wider population. With kobotoolkit we can do moe analysis, and not depend on google forms.

A video tutorial on using the ImageMeter application (Android) for measuring the Nail Growth in millimetres, as well as micrometres, and it can be also employed to measure the angle between the midrib of a leaf and the branch of a Phyllanthus plant to carry out the Leaf-Angle Titration.

The project is in full-swing!
You’ll find the observations received so far, here

I have used henna/Mehandi to get the mark on nail that might last on the finger nail for more days.
Objective: to track the growth of the nail.

Video durations
For uploading through mobile phone: 0:02 to 7:25
For uploading through laptop/desktop: 7:32 onwards

Tracking Nail Growth and studying the factors affecting the same is one of the major objectives of the project. All that you need to do is apply some Mehendi/Henna on your left index finger and start observing it weekly meanwhile adding the pictures on the Google Slides as described in the video.
