We are looking for study participants!


We are currently recruiting heart patients and family members and friends of heart patients for a focus group about lifestyle management in heart disease! Details below.

Design focus groups


• Have heart disease or care about someone who does?
• Want to adopt a healthier lifestyle or help someone else adopt a healthier lifestyle?
• Use the Internet and a mobile phone?

Receive $30 (for participating in one 2-hour focus group) or $60 (for participating in two 2-hour focus groups) to help researchers at the University of Washington design mobile and web tools for people to track activities and identify opportunities to improve heart health in daily life. Our goal is to design technology for you to use: to make decisions, to understand how others might help, to make desired changes in your daily routine. It’s technology about you, for you. You may also include a close friend or family member in the study to help us understand what role they play in your health.

To enroll or find out more, contact us at changeofheart@u.washington.edu, or call us at 206-661-4079. You can also email us directly from the Contacts page on this web site.
