Behind the methods section
What one interview produces.
One interview, coded and timestamped, traceable back to the transcript.
“I didn’t mind the study blood draws themselves. But I did mind the two buses to the clinic and the nearly hour-long wait every single time after I got there. By the fourth visit I was pretty fed up.”
“I’m not a complainer, but sometimes I did have to skip the study pill before visit days because it made me nauseous on the bus.”
A follow-up question surfaced an unreported protocol deviation, filed under adherence and retention.
“I went to every coaching session, and the coach explained it clearly. At home, though, I was guessing at the portions, and I stopped logging meals after a couple weeks.”
“I never actually said anything. The calls were on speakerphone, and my daughter was always in the room. I didn’t want her hearing me say I’d messed up again.”
A follow-up revealed a privacy concern that was hiding fidelity problems; filed under implementation.
“The navigator gave me a list of therapists. The first three weren’t taking patients, and two others never called me back. After that I quit calling.”
“I started going to my pastor. He’s the person I call when the panic starts, even before my sister.”
Probing found an alternate support pathway; filed under mechanism and implementation.
Two ways to engage
Write voice into the grant application, or add it to an already-funded study.
Write voice into your next grant
Grant writing support
We help you write the voice modality into your proposal: the methods section language and the budget justification, with a sampling rationale and limitations you can defend in peer review. When it’s funded, we can help you run the fieldwork, data collection, and analysis.
Add voice to a project you’re running now
Do more with what you have
For active awards or quality-improvement work, we can deploy alongside your existing instruments. We support your IRB or QI determination with consent scripts, data-flow documentation, and protocol language. We can help run the fieldwork alongside your team, too.
Human oversight
Sensavera expands your research.
Sensavera fits inside your existing research process: your tools, your protocols, your oversight.
What we aren’t
- ✗ Not fully autonomous analysis. You can weigh in throughout.
- ✗ Not a shortcut past your methods. Sampling, saturation, and reporting all stay yours.
Export transcripts and audio to the tools you already analyze in: NVivo, ATLAS.ti, MAXQDA, and REDCap. Sensavera adds a data source without changing your analysis stack. We also provide consent language, data-flow documentation, and protocol text for your IRB to review.
What you receive
Every theme opens to its evidence.
What you receive is not a summary. Each theme carries its prevalence, and each opens down to the supporting timestamped verbatims.
Illustrative example.
Theme prevalence across 214 completed interviews. One theme, opened to its evidence below.
“I’m not a complainer, but sometimes I did have to skip the study pill before visit days because it made me nauseous on the bus.”
Every theme opens to its verbatims, each timestamped into the audio. Human-reviewed before it becomes a finding.
Questions
Questions researchers ask.
Can I use my own codebook?
Yes. Your interview guide and constructs define the analysis. You can apply your codebook to the transcripts in NVivo, ATLAS.ti, or MAXQDA, or start from the themes we propose and revise them against the verbatims.
How do you handle inter-rater reliability?
We do not claim inter-rater reliability by default. If your protocol requires it, coded segments export for independent dual coding and adjudication, or a dual-review workflow can be scoped for the study. Codebook versions, coded excerpts, and disagreements stay auditable.
How do I monitor saturation?
Sampling, saturation, and reporting standards stay yours. Because interviews field in parallel, you can review theme accrual as data comes in rather than after the last interview.
Is this a survey?
No. It is conversational data collection: a semi-structured voice interview with bounded, AI-moderated, human-reviewed probing. It can sit alongside the questionnaires you already field.
