The Test Script.

“Hi, my name is Sam and I’ll be taking you through this interview today about health & fitness.

I’m currently building an app to help people improve their health and well-being and the purpose of this chat is to get a better idea of how people look after themselves and how it could be improved for people with busy lives!

I’ve prepared some questions to ask you. The whole process should last less than 30 mins.

Just to let you know, this isn’t a test and I want to encourage you to be as open and honest about your experiences as possible! If anything relevant comes to mind, please don’t hesitate to include it.

Before we start, I’d like to check that it’s OK that I record the audio of our chat? OK? Thanks, that’s great.

Right, lets get started…”
