Pilot studies
Starting in the fall of 2023, we are looking for a number of test subjects who would be willing to participate in studies and test Sovmer products. As a participant, you will be asked to evaluate the products using rating scales and answer a number of questions anonymously.
Why pilot studies?
The fact that we now choose to initiate pilot studies on our products is due to several reasons, but perhaps the most important is to be able to verify that the claimed benefits are true in practice. We also want to collect feedback on the user experience and how the products meet our customers' expectations and requirements. These insights are invaluable for us to understand what works well and what we can do to improve the products.
These open pilot studies on sleep products can be important from a public health perspective by helping to raise awareness of the importance of sleep, improve sleep quality at the population level and potentially reduce sleep-related health problems. By promoting good sleep, these products can have a positive impact on public health and contribute to the well-being of the wider population.

Evaluation and assessment
Guidelines
Population & sample
The study is aimed at both men and women over the age of 18. The aim is to investigate how the product can help alleviate various sleep problems. The sampling method for the study means that participants will be randomly selected from the specified population. This ensures a representative and diverse group of participants, providing reliable results and increasing the generalizability of the conclusions.
Research methodology
To evaluate the impact of the product, the research methodology will include a rating scale from 1 to 5, allowing participants to make both objective and subjective assessments of the effectiveness of the product. This adds a quantitative and qualitative dimension to the study, which can give us a more comprehensive understanding of participants' experiences and reactions.
Data collection method
Data collection will be done through a digital survey. The form is used to collect quantitative data through rating scales and specific questions on different sleep problems.
Data analysis method
Data analysis will be based on evidence-based methods and statistical tools. Quantitative data from the rating scales will be analyzed using statistical methods to gain qualitative insights into the effectiveness of the product for each individual problem area.
Ethics & consent
The research study will be conducted in accordance with ethical guidelines and regulations for research involving human subjects. Participants will be informed about the purpose of the study, the implications of their participation and the possible risks and benefits. They will be given the opportunity to give their informed consent prior to participation and will have the right to withdraw their participation at any time without giving any reason.
Duration of pilot study
The study will be conducted over a time frame of 30 days. This means that participants are expected to use the product and record their experiences during the specified period. The limited timeframe allows for a focused and efficient data collection and analysis of the results within a realistic timeframe.
Ev. hindrance
To be eligible for the pilot study, participants should have one of the following health conditions: sleep problems, neck pain, migraines, headaches, difficulty falling asleep and questions on anxiety/worry will be included.
