Join HEARD by Hesta

We’re building something new at Hesta Health: a comprehensive healthcare service designed to support women and people who’ve been pregnant in the last two years. Your perspective will help us shape care that genuinely works in real life.

By taking part in our research, you’ll get an early look at parts of the service, like the app, care pathways, or early designs, and share what feels helpful, what’s missing, and what could be better. This might happen through a live research session or via a short survey or unmoderated test you can complete in your own time.

Live sessions usually last 20 to 45 minutes. Surveys and unmoderated tests are typically shorter and flexible to fit around your day. We run research regularly, and you may be invited to take part more than once if you’d like.

Taking part is always your choice. You can skip any question, pause, or stop at any time, with no explanation needed.

How we use what you share With your permission, we may record live sessions (audio, video, or screen) so we don’t miss anything. For surveys or unmoderated tests, we may collect your responses and (where relevant) interaction data such as clicks, screen recordings, or written feedback.

All recordings and notes are stored securely and only used by the Hesta Health research team. We may transcribe recordings or analyse responses to identify themes, but your name and personal details won’t be attached.

If we share quotes or examples with the wider team, they will always be anonymised.

With your explicit consent, we may also ask to share audio, video, or screenshots with our wider team or for promotional purposes. You can choose whether or not you’re comfortable with this at the end of the form.
