If you have a fever over the next few weeks, you may be able to take part in a research study happening right here in New York City. If you qualify, you could earn up to $550 for a short study visit.
This study is all about improving how body temperature is measured using different types of sensors. And very soon, researchers will be looking for people who are experiencing a fever to help.
You might see something new in your Evidation app 🔔
Once this study starts recruiting, you may notice a new card in your Evidation app that looks like this:
It’ll ask: “Do you currently have a fever greater than 100.4°F?”
Just tap Yes or No once a day—you’ll earn points for every response, even if you’re not sick.
If you are running a fever of greater than 100.4°F, you might qualify for a short in-person visit with the research team. And if you do, you’ll get the chance to contribute to important health research and earn money for your time.
What’s the study like?
If you are experiencing a fever of over 100.4°F, you will be asked to complete a short survey. If you qualify, a study coordinator will quickly reach out by phone call/text to set up your session. The visit takes place at a location in NYC and lasts just 20 to 45 minutes.
During that time, you’ll stay seated while your temperature is measured using a few different devices—like forehead, ear, and oral thermometers.
That’s it.
You may be eligible if you (or someone in your household):
- Are 5 years or older
- Currently have a fever over 100.4°F
- Can communicate and follow instructions in English
What’s in it for you?
If you complete the session, you’ll receive:
- Up to $550 if you’re an adult
- Up to $500 if you’re a child between 5 and 13
Partial payment is available even if you don’t complete the full visit.
Ready to raise your hand?
Keep an eye on your Evidation app. That fever card is your first step toward qualifying. Whether you’re feeling fine or feeling warm, tap it daily—you’ll earn points either way.
And if you do have a fever, this could be your chance to contribute to meaningful health research and get rewarded for it.
