Caregivers: Interview on Social Touch and Robotics

What you'll do

You join a remote interview and describe your typical caregiving routines, including the role physical contact plays in your daily interactions with patients. You then react to conceptual scenarios involving assistive robots in care settings and say where robotic help makes sense and where human touch remains irreplaceable.

A note on scope

The ad does not state that this work is for AI training. It is a research interview about social touch in nursing and how human-to-human interaction might translate to human-robot interaction, with the stated aim of defining safe, comfortable and effective uses of robots in healthcare. We list it because that kind of research feeds robotics and assistive technology design, which sits near AI work. It is a paid study, not data labelling or model training.

Who fits

• Active nurses, professional caregivers and nursing assistants
• Hands-on patient experience in hospitals, long-term care facilities or home health care
• A solid grasp of daily physical patient care and bedside routines, which the ad calls required

No degree or location requirement is stated. The location is listed as worldwide.

What it pays

$30 for the study. The ad does not state a unit or the interview length, so we read it as a flat fee for the session. Without a stated duration, you cannot compare it to an hourly rate; ask or check the study page on Terac for the time involved.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Draws on everyday experience you already have, with no preparation described
• Open worldwide and remote
• A chance to shape how robots are considered for care work

Less good:

• Modest pay, and the session length is not stated
• A one-off study, not ongoing work
• Payment terms are not published on the listing
• Avoid sharing identifiable patient details; the ad asks about routines, not individual cases
