During our time in the lab it was easy to forget the outside world. There are a few aspects to keep in mind: What would people with non-scientific background think of using spores to deliver drugs. And what would ulcerative colitis affected patients think of this idea? Could there be any concerns about the safety of spores? How can we achieve or improve the acceptance of our work and our product?
And also: Is our product applicable under real world conditions?
To respond to all those questions, we’ve had talked to a lot of different medical experts in their field (gastroenterologists, dermatologists and pharmacists). The results of the these interviews was the idea to perform two surveys. One aiming for the general public and the other one addressing ulcerative colitis patients. Read more on the following pages
