Working with us
[DUPLICATE COPY] We’re a small, senior team who embed with your scientists, marketers, and commercial teams to build an evidence engine that grows your business.
Who we are
Paul Wicks, PhD
Founder
Paul is a neuropsychologist and expert in digital health, clinical trials, and patient centricity. For 13 years he led the R&D team at PatientsLikeMe, an online community for over 850,000 people living with medical conditions.
Specialising in clinical research using the Internet, Paul shaped the scientific validity of the platform in generating insights from patient-generated health data, and has published over 200 studies including a patient-driven observational trial of lithium in ALS, numerous patient-reported outcome measures, a “dose-response” curve for the benefits of friendship between patients, and methods for patient-centered and virtual clinical trial designs.
He has sat on the editorial boards of the BMJ, BMC Medicine, JMIR, Digital Biomarkers, The Patient, and BMJ Digital Health & AI. Prior to joining PatientsLikeMe, Paul worked at the Institute of Psychiatry (King’s College London) studying cognition and neuroimaging in ALS, with a postdoc in psychological consequences of Parkinson’s disease.
His work has been profiled by the BBC, NPR, CNN, BBC Radio 4, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. In 2011 he was awarded MIT Technology Review’s TR35 “Humanitarian of the Year” award, recognized as a TED Fellow in 2012, and joined the inaugural FLIER Program at the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2019.

Book hereHow we work
Speed comes from systems. Proof comes from people.
We embed, not advise
We join your Slack and work in your tools, not the other way around. No new logins for your team to ignore.
Clear ownership
You keep your data and analysis. We own governance, proof assets and distribution, and the claims bank that connects them.
AI-native, human-checked
Competitor scans and evidence monitoring that took weeks now run in hours. Then someone who knows the science checks every word.
Deadlines beat perfectionism
We work to real conference and journal deadlines. Crawl, walk, run: poster, preprint, paper — momentum over the endless draft 27.
The engagement
Start with a sprint. Grow into a team.
Start here · 90 days
The evidence sprint
We map your evidence stack, benchmark your competitors, build your claims bank, set up governance, and leave you with a 12-month roadmap and your first assets already moving. Scoped to your stage, from seed to Series C.
Ongoing
Embed
A retainer where we run your evidence council, feed competitor and conference intel into your Slack, and ship papers, posters and B2B assets on a steady cadence. Retainer clients get the direct line for the burning-platform moments — the 5pm FDA question, the competitor’s bold claim, the board deck due Friday.
As you grow
Scale
More therapeutic areas, more outputs, more of the plumbing owned by us — so your own team is freed to move fast while the proof keeps compounding.
What we’re not
Not a CRO, not a content-churning med-comms agency, not a HEOR shop. We’re the operating system that connects your evidence to your growth — and we’ll tell you when you need one of those instead.
