How long is the study and where is it conducted?

Studies can be face-to-face, online, or mailed out. Most studies require a single visit other studies require products to be taken home and trialled, these studies typically are 2-3 visits however it will depend on the research question. Each study has its own Information sheet that clearly states the commitment. Face to face visits are typically in Sydney.  Online or mail out studies can be anywhere in Australia.

What is expected from me?

The number one thing we require is your feedback, and opinion to ensure we are servicing our customers the best we can. These trials evaluate our designs and are never a test of you. Questions we ask typically involve whether you can understand the instructions, and whether you can use the device as the designer intended. Each study has a participant information and consent sheet that explains in detail what is expected. Study participation is always voluntary.
