What is Bounce?
In short it’s an online market research tool. We send you an invitation via the app - or via email if you’d prefer to take part in short surveys. These can be completed in your own time, on or offline, though ideally you’ll need a wifi connection – especially if abroad - to download the surveys and sync your responses and avoid any unpleasant data or roaming charges.
We will not try to conduct long surveys via this medium - this isn’t about in depth qualitative research - its more a means to connect the right people to ask important questions, and gather responses quickly, which can help inform and steer activities in the medical field appropriately.
You’ll be paid for your time, but we don’t expect you to have to take time out from any of your usual commitments – this is about making productive use of your latent capacity, having a bit of fun on your mobile device, and helping guide and steer the medical world with your thoughts and opinions. Win win all round we think.
So, what do you want to know from me?
Our clients – mainly pharmaceutical, med-tech and healthcare companies are interested in your ideas, opinions, behaviour and general feedback on a variety of topics – to be decided. It may be seeking your thoughts on some recently published data, it may be ‘have you heard of product or new chemical entity x and what do think of it’, or it may be ‘please tell us what you last prescribed for a patient with x condition, and why’?
One week we may send you surveys asking how you feel about topics in the healthcare news at the moment or it might be a survey about new technology, which gadgets you own and why you bought them.
What do you do with the survey results?
All your feedback will be anonymised and fed back to the client company commissioning the research. (If you want to know who they are, that’s fine, just ask us!). They’ll take your pooled responses and decide what they do or don’t want to do next. That’s it.
What do I get in return?
First off, suitable recompense for your time!
Second, the chance to inform those interested to know the thoughts and opinions of those at the coalface of delivering healthcare to patients today.
Thirdly, we plan to make this more and more interactive, so it should ultimately make it more interesting to participate – assuming you want to that is. The choice is yours.
Some survey outputs will be suitable for sharing amongst those who participated. We have to be careful in the pharma/med tech world not to promote anything through market research, so we may not be able to share all the outputs. Where we can, we will.
How often will I have to respond?
You don’t have to respond. It’s up to you. We’ll ensure only those surveys that are appropriate for you are shared with you. You’ll earn a small amount for just opening the survey on your app. If you complete it then you earn the full amount. We want you to decide what you want to invest your time in – even if its only for a minute or two!
Obviously we’d like you to take part in all appropriate surveys but we know you all lead very busy lives.
Will you pass on my personal data to other companies?
No. Your details will be stored securely. (See our privacy policy). Whilst the anonymised results will be shared with 3rd parties, they will not be able to identify you. The only time you will be identified (outside of a survey), is if you wish to report an adverse event – in these circumstances your details will be shared with the appropriate pharmacovigilance team or regulatory authorities. This will only be done with your permission and full involvement.
