Call For Participants – University of Glasgow’s ‘the acceptability of using technologies in the home to monitor health and wellbeing’ study.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow are looking for participants to take part in their new research study. ‘The acceptability of using technologies in the home to monitor health and wellbeing’, is a qualitative study.

They would like to speak to members of the public about new technologies they are developing to remotely monitor people’s health in the home. For example, blood flow, heart rate, movement and possibly brain activity using lasers, WiFi and radar.

They want to find out how acceptable these technologies are to people and what they think are the benefits and risks. This would involve taking part in one focus group or interview, either in person or by video/phone call. All participants will be offered a gift voucher as a token of appreciation for their time.

Please visit the study website for more information and contact details for the study team, here.
