Recruitment Diagnostic
A friction map across the study page, ads, forms, follow-up, screening path, burden and current funnel.
Mental health trial recruitment
Turn trial awareness into study-ready participation.
HopeStage helps mental health research teams improve the path from first interest to screening through patient-friendly study communication, trusted outreach, early-fit support and participant preparation.
Better-informed interest before the site. Clinical decisions stay with the study team.
The patient funnel
You do not need more random traffic. You need a better patient funnel.
A campaign can generate clicks and still fail operationally when the opportunity feels unclear, risky, impersonal, burdensome or disconnected from lived reality.
