What is it?
Most of our studies involve interviews where we seek your open and honest feedback. Your input can help shape the development of future medical devices, products, and packaging to benefit end users. This could mean making them more accessible and easier to use for patients with health conditions, or improving safety for medical professionals. By participating, you will make a positive impact on people's lives and the future of healthcare.
Plus the sessions are interesting and it's a great way to make a bit of money.

Study Overview:
Our client is selecting an injection device to be used for the delivery of a range of medications.
We’re inviting healthcare professionals experienced in administering subcutaneous injections, who work in rheumatology, gastroenterology, and/or dermatology, to participate in this paid research study and share their feedback.
The session will be a 90-minute interview, which will require you to simulate the use of a series of injection devices before providing feedback on device features and any preferences you have for the devices that you will have interacted with. These devices will not contain drug but instead will contain a placebo and a needle. You will not be injecting yourself, or anyone else, during the study; instead, you will be injecting into an injection pad.
