Why patient-led insight matters

Working in mental health takes more than expertise. It requires sensitivity, humility, and a deep understanding of the people you're trying to support.

People living with depression, bipolar disorder and other mood challenges don’t shop for mental-health products; they seek solutions that feel safe, aligned, and that allow them to live more stable lives day-to-day. Bringing their voice into your process is the difference between being used once and becoming a trusted companion.

We help you build exactly that.

Who we are

We’re a consulting team led by people with lived experience of mood disorders.

Every day we connect with thousands of people navigating mood challenges — their stories, frustrations, hopes, what truly works.

Combined with years in marketing, product & strategy, we help organisations build solutions people genuinely adopt and recommend.

The result: guidance that enables organisations to design solutions people genuinely adopt, trust and recommend.

Alcediag Logo

We conducted a full patient-led research program for Alcediag: qualitative interviews with patients and relatives, a quantitative survey, focus groups, and persona creation. Insights were then used to build their go-to-market strategy, value proposition, and segment-specific funnels for their bipolarity/depression blood test.

Frequently Asked Questions

All the questions you might have before we start.

What does your consulting do?
bipolaire question

Our role is to analyse your relationship with your patients/customers: what builds trust, what breaks it, and what blocks adoption of your solutions. We review your materials, your patient journey, and talk with your team – and sometimes patients – to propose a concrete action plan.

Who is it for?
bipolaire question

We work with healthcare players (clinics, digital solutions, biomarker companies, private practices, etc.) who already have a product or service, but feel a gap between the potential of their innovation and real adoption on the patient side.

How does a typical project work?
bipolaire question

In general, we follow 3 main steps:
- Diagnostic – we analyse your messaging, patient pathway, and current tools.
- Interviews & field insights – we talk with your team (and sometimes your patients) to understand the real experience.
- Report & action plan – you receive a clear report with priorities, concrete examples, and next actions.

How much does it cost?
bipolaire question

The price depends on your context (size of your organisation, number of countries, pathway complexity…).

We usually start with a short, fixed-price diagnostic, then we can extend with a longer project if you want support to implement the changes.

How do you know if this is for you?
bipolaire question

If you:

- have a good product,
- but too little adoption, retention, or word-of-mouth,
- and feel that “something gets lost” between the science and the patient experience, then a trust & patient journey diagnostic is probably the best first step.
