Research Study Participant opportunities are now available for adults aged 60 and older interested in contributing to a meaningful video research project. This project centers on everyday movement and comfort, offering individuals a chance to participate in a friendly, in-person video session at our professionally equipped studio. The session is designed to be accessible, comfortable, and respectful of each participant’s pace and needs.
As a Research Study Participant, you will take part in a 60-minute guided session where simple, low-impact activities are demonstrated and performed. These activities include basic motions such as sitting, standing, and gently turning your head. Our experienced moderators will guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the process. No special skills or previous experience are required to join this research study.
The in-person video research session is structured to be as accommodating as possible. You will be welcomed into a comfortable lounge area, with snacks and beverages provided for your enjoyment. The environment has been thoughtfully arranged to prioritize ease of movement and accessibility. Chairs with arms, step stools, and grip rails are available for use, and participants are welcome to bring any personal mobility aids such as canes or walkers. Closed-toe shoes and clothing that allow for natural movement are recommended to enhance your comfort during the session.
The main focus of this research is to observe real-life, everyday movements to help product and service teams design with genuine user needs in mind. There is no heavy lifting, stretching beyond your comfort, or repetitive motions involved. If any activity feels uncomfortable, you may request to modify or skip it, and breaks are available at any time. It is important to note that this is not a medical evaluation or fitness test; the goal is simply to observe and document natural motions in a supportive setting.
Upon arrival, participants will be guided through a brief check-in and orientation. A consent form will be reviewed and any questions you may have will be answered to ensure you have a clear understanding of the process. Your privacy is respected at every step—videos are used exclusively for research and training purposes and are not shared publicly. You may stop participating at any point if you wish, with no obligation to continue.
Sessions are scheduled in advance and start promptly to respect your time. The studio is conveniently located, and details regarding the exact address and parking will be provided in your confirmation email. Please bring a photo ID for building access and plan to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your appointment time for a smooth check-in process.
Those who complete the session will receive compensation of $100, delivered digitally within 24 hours of participation. Light refreshments, including coffee, tea, water, and packaged snacks, are available throughout your visit. Our team is dedicated to ensuring a positive experience and is happy to answer any questions you may have prior to your session.
To become a Research Study Participant, simply click the application button and complete the brief intake form. Once your application is received, you will be sent a confirmation email with your appointment time and directions.

Your contribution will help improve the design of products and services for people everywhere.
