Services built around people who are too often missed, misread, or left unsupported
Relatix Bio builds bespoke cohorts across neurodiversity and chronic mental health, then stays with participants for the long term. We support them as people, not as one-off study recruits, which means organisations can reach communities that are often undiagnosed, self-managing, stigma-sensitive, atypical in presentation, or simply underserved by traditional pathways.
For partners, that means access to better-matched participants, stronger trust, richer phenotyping, and more meaningful long-term follow-up. For participants, it means relevant opportunities, practical support, and a route into cutting-edge science, care, and technology that feels tailored to them rather than imposed on them.
What we offer
Our service is not just recruitment. It is precision cohort building, participant matching, long-term engagement, and real-world learning.
Bespoke cohort gathering
We identify and engage people with specific cognitive, behavioural, emotional, or symptom profiles, including people who may be undiagnosed, reluctant to seek care, or poorly served by standard clinical routes.
Precision matching to opportunities
We match the right people to the right opportunities, from clinical trials and pilot studies to digital tools, devices, therapies, support offers, and accessibility research.
Long-term participant relationships
Because we stay in touch over time, we can support retention, follow-up, and real-world insight long after a partner’s initial project has ended.
Deep phenotyping and practical insight
We learn how people experience their condition, what helps, what puts them off, where their strengths lie, and what makes them willing to try something new. That creates more useful matching and better intervention design.
Carer and supporter engagement
Where appropriate, we also engage families, carers, and supporters. That helps us understand the wider picture and gives partners a better chance of meaningful, sustained impact.
Why this works when standard routes do not
Many of the people we support do not fit neatly into standard care pathways. Some avoid services because of shame, fear, or bad past experiences. Some have atypical presentations. Some are self-managing. Some are living with conditions for which current treatment options are limited, inconsistent, or hard to tolerate.
Relatix Bio engages people in ways that match how they actually experience the world. If someone is highly anxious, we create calm. If someone is highly suspicious, we create safety. If someone feels unseen, we make the opportunity feel relevant, respectful, and worth their time. That is one reason we can reach people others miss.
Our participants should never feel they are being sold. They should feel they are being offered something potentially useful: access to progress, support, better options, and opportunities that may genuinely improve quality of life.
What partners gain
Better participant fit, better trust, and better evidence of what actually helps over time.
Access to hard-to-reach groups
We help partners reach people who may be outside formal psychiatric care, missed by standard recruitment, or poorly represented in typical research and product testing pipelines.
Real-world impact validation
Because we stay connected to participants, we can help validate whether an intervention continues to help months or even years later, and for whom it works best.
Insight that helps improve the offer
Structured feedback, informal participant chatter, and long-term pattern recognition can all help a partner refine messaging, product design, support pathways, and future development.
Focus areas and conditions we are exploring
Some partners come to us with a very specific hypothesis, intervention, mechanism, or symptom cluster in mind. We are comfortable speaking in technical terms and thinking in terms of functional systems, neurotypes, and condition-specific fit.
The areas below are not exhaustive, but they reflect the kinds of cohorts, mechanisms, and presentations we are actively interested in supporting.
Functional regulation systems
- Appetite & ingestive regulation
System: hypothalamic & reward circuits - Body-focused & impulse habits
System: cortico-striatal habit circuits
Explore habits - Cognitive focus & executive control
System: prefrontal-dopaminergic tuning - Dissociation & identity integration
System: limbic-default-mode decoupling
Explore dissociation - Fear & threat response
System: amygdala-HPA axis - Mood & emotional regulation
System: limbic-cortical-monoaminergic balance - Motor & impulse regulation
System: basal ganglia & inhibitory circuits - Reality testing & perceptual stability
System: salience & sensory integration networks - Sensory processing
System: sensory gating & integration - Sexual drive & regulation
System: limbic-endocrine reward circuits - Sleep & arousal regulation
System: hypothalamic-circadian & arousal networks - Sleep-related parasomnias
System: sleep-wake transition networks
Explore parasomnias - Social & attachment drive
System: oxytocin-amygdala-prefrontal network - Speech & expression
System: motor speech & expressivity networks
Conditions (A-Z)
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- ASPD spectrum
- Autism
- BPD
- Depression
- Eating patterns
- Narcissism
- Obsessive-Compulsive
- PTSD
- Schizophrenia spectrum
- Tic & Tourette
If you are developing something for one of these areas, or for a related presentation not listed here, we would still be glad to hear from you. Specificity is welcome.
Example projects we could support
The opportunity could be clinical, digital, behavioural, educational, or service-focused. What matters is fit, ethics, and likely value to participants.
- A clinical trial looking for people with a specific symptom pattern, behavioural profile, or treatment history
- A digital mental health app or neurotechnology tool that needs a well-matched pilot cohort and meaningful user feedback
- A biotech or device company exploring whether a relaxation, sleep, stress, or vagus nerve intervention helps a particular subgroup
- A research group wanting long-term follow-up to understand who benefits, who does not, and why
- A company or public service wanting focus groups to make products, environments, or communications more accessible and effective
- An organisation seeking a more precise route into communities affected by ADHD, trauma, severe anxiety, eating difficulties, compulsive patterns, or other complex presentations
