What this site is for

This website provides information about pHera and allows people to:

• register interest in user research interviews, and
• contact us about potential collaboration (clinical, research, legal, or business).

We do not yet sell products or provide medical services on this website.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this website you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Eligibility and research scope

• The site is intended for persons 18 years or older.
• Our website and current research recruitment are intended for women*, which in our case refers to people assigned female at birth (AFAB). Due to limited research available for other groups, our methods are validated for physiology typically associated with being AFAB. This allows us to build a product that is safe and accurate for our users. If you are not AFAB, you are warmly invited to follow our work and reach out about future studies or collaborations as we expand our validation. For questions or to explore collaboration, contact info@phera.digital.

Responsible use

Do not misuse the site. In particular, do not scrape, disrupt, probe security, upload malware, or infringe rights.

• Submitting your email or booking an appointment lets us contact you to schedule a research interview or a collaboration call.
• Participation in user interviews is voluntary and does not create a healthcare or service relationship.
• Interviews are conducted primarily online. We do not record audio or video. We use handwritten notes and anonymize them.
