The MDConsult team is constantly working to make the system the best it can be and we invite you help us shape its future. When you register as a Design Partner, you agree to allow us to contact you, to request your participation in our user-centered design research. We conduct the following types of activities: Email requests to participate in an online questionnaire (most common). Telephone interviews or web meetings, often 1/2 hour to an hour. Usability tests at your location, or sometimes off-site. Increasingly, ad hoc email conversations are used to solicit opinions. These activities occur on an occasional basis, and you are under no obligation to accept any invitation; partners are welcome for any of the activities. We understand your time is valuable, so an honorarium is often provided for the more time-consuming activities if it is not deemed to compromise the research.
