Perception study
A perception study focuses on understanding how people perceive, experience, or feel about a particular product. This involves collecting subjective feedback from participants via questionnaires. You can’t involve objective measurements in this design.
Single-group study
In single-group clinical trials all participants receive the same treatment or intervention without a comparison or control group, like a placebo. This design can incorporate a range of biomarkers, like bloodwork or microbiome, and digital markers from trackers.
Randomized-controlled trial
An RCT is the gold-standard of research. Participants are randomly assigned to a treatment or control group (e.g. placebo) to test if a product truly works. You can incorporate biomarkers, like bloodwork, microbiome testing, or digital markers from trackers.
