Shape the Future of Rare Diseases as a UX Research Participant.

Communities hold the key to showing and teaching us the best ways to accelerate progress. By hearing directly from you what’s most important—your priorities, needs, and limitations—we can lift up the rare disease community as we develop tools and programs. By signing up to share your thoughts in our user studies, you will be supporting the rare disease community—and you will also  get paid for research participation in the form of an Amazon gift card.

Participate in User Experience Research

If you're a good fit for a study, one of our team members will contact you by email and invite you to participate in a session. We may ask additional questions before confirming your participation. Studies will take place online via video conference and will be scheduled at a time that works best for you.

User Experience Research at CZI

In order to build human-centered solutions, CZI’s User Experience Research team works to discover and understand people’s attitudes, sentiments, struggles, and needs. The team conducts research through interviews, surveys, group brainstorms, co-design workshops, virtual visits, and more.

If you decide to participate in user studies, you may be asked for your opinion on ideas, tools, and services. Sometimes we conduct user experience research on new ideas, while other times we ask for input after an idea or tool has launched, so that we can understand how it can be improved. By conducting user experience research using video conferencing, we’re able to reach the widest possible audience of potential participants. We can’t wait to hear from you!
