Research & innovation

Give your research a useful everyday form.

Your program has a purpose. Now it needs an experience people can use.

We help research teams, university groups and research-led ventures turn their work into software, through product strategy, design and engineering.

Research-led program

Expertise.
Content.
A purpose.

The product work between the two

Make participation
part of the design.

A study protocol or program describes what should happen. The product has to make the next step understandable for the person taking part.

01

Understand the intent

Your research approach, content and participant needs.

02

Shape the interaction

Language, pacing, choices and a clear path through the work.

03

Build something to use

A working experience for testing, delivery and refinement.

Your team leads the research. We work with you on the product.

Influents Innovations / Qlarity

Room to reflect.
A clear way to begin.

Young people needed an approachable path through guided reflection. With Influents’ researchers, we shaped the language, visual prompts and navigation, then built and supported the app used in the trial.

A product decision

Make personal
values tangible.

Visual prompts help participants identify what matters to them. A restrained interface keeps the guided content central.

TrueMotif + University of Oregon

A program has a voice.
Give it a rhythm.

Translating prenatal-support content into Android meant designing the conversation as well as the interface.

We worked on shorter messages, pauses and response choices. User feedback informed the experience, with content and appearance designed to evolve.

Our contribution: conversation design, UX/UI and engineering. The research-led program came from TrueMotif and the University of Oregon.

Beyond the participant screen

Support the people
running the work, too.

Delivery, coordination and evaluation need their own tools. We connect the experience people use with the work your team needs to oversee.

PeerLearning

Keep the teacher
in the room.

We designed and engineered cooperative activities, grouping controls and teacher views with the research team and input from pilot schools. Teachers can review groupings and intervene as an activity unfolds.

XPRIZE Foundation

Connect participation
to evaluation.

For the adult-literacy prize, we built submission coordination, an entrant analytics SDK and a custom platform used to help conduct the prize. The organizers’ evaluation needs shaped the infrastructure.

Working together

Start with what you know.
Make the next step tangible.

Whether you’re preparing a funded study, a pilot or a research-led product, we agree the software milestone around what you need to learn or deliver next, and the budget you’re working within.

You bring

The research
and its purpose.

Domain expertise, existing content, participant needs and the questions you want to investigate.

We decide together

What to make next.

Scope, interaction, collection needs and what will make the milestone useful to your team.

We contribute

Product strategy,
design & engineering.

A prototype, study app, product release or evaluation tool, shaped to the agreed scope.
