Join the Alinker research study, in collaboration with Stanford University
Last days to get your Alinker for USD $500 less! (CAD $600)
Till May 15th so act now
Why the study? To support anecdotal testimonies like these and prove that Mobility is medicine!
What's happening at Stanford with a small control group
Research study 1: We are thrilled to announce that Stanford University launches a study on the benefits of using an Alinker for a trial for total knee replacement participants (see https://alinker.stanford.edu). This particular study is with a control group of any person receiving knee arthroplasty between the age of 18-99 and is a patient of Dr. Derek Amanatullah, Joint Replacement Clinic, Stanford University. This study group will use an online platform for data collection.
This is where you come in
Research study 2: The online platform used for this study, allows us to open up participation in this research for all Alinker users interested in being a part of this Alinker study, supporting our anecdotal testimonials showing the benefits of the Alinker to improve quality of life and cost saving on cascading medical expenses. The extended research group has now reached the minimum number of participants to be a valid study and this campaign is to make sure that the analyses will be valid. We invite you all to join this extended research group. It is important to also have a good mix of existing and new Alinker users.
With this research we hope to get scientific data to show that use of the Alinker has a positive effect on your health. The minimum amount of time to participate is 6 months, but the research will go longer.
We want to honour your commitment to this study with a very special offer to people who yet have to get their own Alinker.
When you secure your spot now, you get an exclusive chance to purchase your Alinker for just USD $2070 plus shipping. (Regular price USD $2570)* (for Canadians CAD $2747 plus shipping - regular price CAD $3347)
Be fast to act, because this special offer is valid till the 2nd May only and for a limited number of participants.
You can secure your spot now by adding USD $25 to this campaign.
For existing Alinker users who want to participate in the study, either pledge $25 to this campaign, or send an email to stanford@thealinker.com
*Conditions apply, please read carefully:
- Only for full price purchases, not applicable for rent to own.
- This study is open for everybody who already uses an Alinker, though this special offer is only valid for new Alinker users.
- The special offer applies to residents of the USA and Canada. Shipping to Puerto Rico, Hawaii or Alaska cannot be arranged through the order page, please send us an email info@thealinker.com
- Return policy of 15 days does not apply for this offer.
- You will need to either have a mobile device such as an apple/android watch, fitbit, etc or purchase a DayBand (example or similar at around $40-$50) and a compatible cellular device to transmit your data to the research platform. You will need provide your receipt (or a description of your device) in order to get your Alinker at this price. You will be required to use the mobile device for at least 6 months as well as using the Alinker, to monitor your usage (i.e., distance, steps, sleep, heart-rate). You will need to open the MyPHD app at least once a week to keep syncing your data with Stanford. (This data is de-identified.)
- When you complete the 6 months study, you saved yourself USD $1000, though, if you do not complete a minimum of 6 months study with at least uploading your data once a week, you'll get charged for the remainder of the Alinker's full price, as if it were a rent to own purchase. This is a commitment.
Your USD $25 is non-reimbursable and will be added to the Collective Campaign to support people who are running a campaign to get their Alinker.
During the study you will be asked to record the following data with your DayBand, so make sure that the band you get, has these functions.
- Heart-rate: depending on number of times that the watch triggers the HR recording either with single or continuously settings
- Steps: # of steps per hour
- Walking/Running distance: per hour
- Sleep: total time of asleep at night
