Full description:
We are a UK company developing a small implanted sensor that warns early when the heart muscle is short of oxygen, before permanent damage occurs. It is still in the lab, so your views can shape the design. We would like to speak with people who have had a heart attack, and their partners or carers, in a 45-minute phone or video call, 16-20 November 2026. No medical knowledge needed. Women, people over 70 and people with diabetes are especially welcome.
Opportunity Deadline
13th November 2026
Payment:
£27.50 per hour, in line with NIHR payment guidance.
Expenses:
Any phone or travel costs are covered. Calls are by phone or video from home, so no travel is needed.
Organisation
Preclusion Ltd
Preclusion Ltd is a small UK medical-device company (company no. 16524533, London), founded by an engineer and an interventional cardiologist who together previously developed an implanted heart sensor that was tested in patients in London and Birmingham. We are developing a new implanted sensor that aims to give early warning when the heart muscle is short of oxygen, so that treatment can start before permanent damage is done. We want patients and carers to help shape this work from the start.
