Client Assessment & Market Survey

Hi there! This completely voluntary survey is to assess client interest and needs as we develop what I dream of as exo-armour for an EDSr (Ehler’s- Danlos Syndrome). This project is currently developing the prototype for phase one of the Exo-Skeleton Braces, with special focus on the limbs. Your valued responses will help us create a better product, more specific to the needs of those with Connective Tissue Disorders and/or hypermobility. Our goal is to provide a patient-centric design and to spark a discussion about how to best meet the needs of this unique population. We hope to arrive at a more efficient, more beautiful and ‘wearable’ prototype, with your help. You do not require a formal diagnosis to respond to this survey, or to express interest in becoming part of our prototype testing team. We ask that all answers are given anonymously, but you may provide initials at the end of the form should you choose. All responses will be considered anonymous unless otherwise stated. All responses will be reviewed by myself, Adriane Clipperton, and the head engineers in my company EXOhuman, with the utmost discretion. Your responses provide better insight into the particular trials and tribulations an EDSr when dealing with medical accessories and bracing devices. Once the survey has closed, all the response will be formatted as a component for statistical demonstration of our demographic analysis. The formatted statistic and select highlight quotations to support to population’s needs will be presented under my supervision as part of the EXOhuman project media packages.

Please note that this survey is in no way affiliated with EDS Canada, the EDS Society, EDNF, the forum in which it appears or the University of Windsor.

Please give what you believe to be your best answer to each of the following:
