DEMAND is a charity that designs and makes bespoke and small batch produced assistive products. We are currently developing a balance board that will be batch produced and sold in our online shop: making it available to people who can benefit from it and ensuring we can continue to develop new assistive design solutions. As part of the development process we are recruiting beta testers to test the latest iteration of the balance board before it is launched to the public.

The beta test process will be approximately six weeks long. If you are selected to be a product tester, you'll be provided with the latest version of our balance board prototype. We will expect you to use the balance board on a regular basis and provide honest and detailed feedback throughout the process; both on what works well about the current design and what could be improved. This may be through online questionnaires, email, phone or video calls.

Being a product tester won’t cost you any money, but we do ask for a commitment of your time. We understand if circumstances change so if you become unable to commit time to being a product tester, just let us know.

We would like you to take photos and videos of yourself and/or the user testing the balance board. This will allow us to share the story of the product development process with our supporters and make sure we’re able to keep on designing new and exciting assistive products. You would be very welcome to share the experience in your own way on social media too!

If necessary, we may ask you to return all or part of the balance board to us part way through the process so that we can make modifications and then return it to you for further testing.

At the end of the beta test process we hope to allow you to keep the product to continue using, if you wish to do so, although this cannot be guaranteed.
