Participate

HeraVita is currently in a structured research phase.

Participation is optional, tiered, and consent-based.
You may contribute at the level that feels appropriate — or simply observe.

Section 1 — How Participation Works

Our research examines:

• Activewear material exposure
• Hormonal health considerations
• Body geometry changes across midlife
• Fit inconsistencies in current sizing systems

You may contribute in one of three ways.

Section 2 — Tiered Participation

1. Fit Screen

Time: 2–3 minutes
Format: Online

A brief questionnaire about garment fit, friction points, and wear patterns.

No biometric data collected.
No commitment required.

2. Full Research Survey

Time: 8–10 minutes
Format: Online

A deeper survey exploring:

• Changes in body shape over time
• Fit inconsistencies across brands
• Fabric sensitivity experiences
• Athletic movement patterns

All responses are anonymized before analysis.

3. 3D Infrared Body Scan

Time: 10 minutes
Format: In-person (location announced privately)

This scan captures external body geometry only.
It does not measure internal health metrics.

Personal identity is separated from geometry data before research modeling.

Scan data contributes to:

• Improved sizing frameworks
• Pattern engineering research
• Material contact mapping

Section 3 — Consent & Data Handling

Participation requires explicit consent at each level.

We:

• Store identity separately from research data
• Encrypt all stored information
• Allow withdrawal upon request
• Never sell or license personal data

You may request deletion at any time.

Transparency is foundational.

Section 4 — Who This Is For

This research prioritizes women navigating midlife transitions — including hormonal shifts that may influence body geometry and garment interaction.

You do not need to be athletic.
You do not need to identify with a label.
You only need curiosity.

Section 5 — If You Prefer to Observe

You may join the HeraVita Community without participating directly.

Research updates are shared periodically.
No action required.
