Grad student researcher wanting to speak with kidney stone patients, urologists, or sonographers (any related field works) -- 15 minute phone call
- Strategy
- Patient journey
Update: Thanks so much to everyone who reached out, we hit our goal! Still don't hesitate to contact me if you feel you've got something important to add!
I'm a mechanical engineering grad student at a US university, working in a lab that researches kidney stone treatment. I'm part of an NSF program that requires us to talk to real patients before we do any more engineering work, so we don't end up building something nobody needs.
I'm not selling anything, there's no product, and there's no pay involved. I just want to hear about your experience: what getting diagnosed and treated was like, what hurt or frustrated you, and what you wish had gone differently. I'm mainly asking people who've had kidney stones, but urologists are tougher to get a hold of, and we care about the urologist, sonographer, and patient sides of this.
I'm after a 15-20 minute phone call. We still need 8 more interviews by Thursday, May 14. The reason I'm posting here is that I haven't had much luck on other platforms.
If you're up for it, shoot me a DM and we'll find a time in the next day or two. Happy to answer questions here or in DMs first. Thanks a ton in advance.
