How do studies set compensation amounts for their studies?

Compensation is set at the discretion of the study sponsor (i.e. the individual or company running the study) and is typically based on the overall rigor and complexity of the study. Factors like task frequency, time commitment, use of wearables or biomarkers, and expected adherence levels all play a role. While Alethios doesn’t set a standard formula, sponsors often offer compensation to recognize participants’ time and effort. Compensation details are always outlined clearly in the study onboarding and consent materials
