  SamplingPackageRegistry().register(AppsSamplingPackage());

  Study study = Study("1234", "bardram", name: "bardram study");

  // creating a task collecting step counts and blood pressure data for the last two days
  study.addTriggerTask(
    ImmediateTrigger(), // a simple trigger that starts immediately
    Task(name: 'Step and blood pressure')
      ..addMeasure(
        Measure(
          MeasureType(NameSpace.CARP, AppsSamplingPackage.APP_USAGE),
          name: 'App usage',
        ),
      )
      ..addMeasure(
          Measure( MeasureType(NameSpace.CARP, AppsSamplingPackage.APPS),
            name: 'Blood Pressure Diastolic'),
      )
  );

  // Create a Study Controller that can manage this study, initialize it, and start it.
  StudyController controller = StudyController(study);

  // await initialization before starting
  await controller.initialize();
  controller.resume();

  // listening on all data events from the study
  controller.events.forEach(print);
