WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP IMPROVE OSTOMY POUCHES?
We’re a team of three friendly business students at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. We’d like to invite you to participate in our survey for a school-related consulting project. The results will help our client determine if there’s enough consumer demand for an improved colostomy or ileostomy pouch. It will also tell them which ostomy pouch features should be improved. You can help us by taking our survey. It will only take about 12 minutes and your responses will be extremely valuable to our research. Your participation will also be anonymous.
