Ethically-driven
Best-in-class informed consent
Prioritising participant rights
Informed consent is pivotal to ethical research. Fatima ensures participants fully understand their rights at all times with a best-in-class informed consent, which breaks up consent information into bite-sized pieces throughout the research process. Researchers have access to the consent script agreed upon by participants during the analysis phase, allowing them to make informed decisions about how the data can be used.
- Best-in-class informed consent process that prioritises participants' comfort and rights
- Bite-sized consent script, with questions asked to participants to ensure they understand their rights
- Regain consent at the end of an interview
- Consent script shown at analysis stage to support informed decisions about use of data
Flagging and safeguarding
Ensuring participant safety
Responses can be flagged during and after interviews, triggering an automatic email to your safeguarding point of contact. This ensures prompt follow-up on any concerns raised during interviews.
- Flag a response during and after an interview
- Add a note to provide details of why the response was flagged
- Automatic email sent straight to your safeguarding point of contact
- Review recordings of flagged responses to moderate for safeguarding follow up
Pause or stop the interview at any time
Putting participant comfort first
Interviews can be paused, stopped or restarted at any time if the participant is unable to continue, feels uncomfortable, or simply needs a break. Fatima allows you to reschedule an interview with the participant and pick up where you left off — or delete the data altogether if they don’t wish to continue.
- Pause or stop interviews at any time if the participant is unable to continue
- Automatic data deletion if the interview is cancelled or the participant refuses to consent to the use of interview data
- Reschedule interviews and resume where you left off
