FOR CLINICIANS & RESEARCHERS

Clinical questions.
A wider biological view.

Neurabi aims to organise microbiome research into interpretable, evidence-linked information alongside clinical context. We are preparing a pilot, with clinical usefulness still to be evaluated.

HOW IT FITS TOGETHER

From a sample
to a conversation.

Six steps connect a sample to an appointment. Neurabi builds the four in the middle; the laboratory and the appointment belong to the people around it.

  1. 01

    Sample

    A stool sample goes to a laboratory, which sequences it.

  2. 02

    Measurements

    54 measurements arrive: bacterial types and gene-based processes, each as a share of the sample.

  3. 03

    Comparison

    Each one is placed against a reference interval modelled for age, sex and body mass index.

  4. 04

    Evidence

    Saved research is attached to each result, with its study design and its limits.

  5. 05

    Review

    A clinician weighs every result and decides what to discuss. An assistant explains the sources; the clinician decides.

  6. 06

    Conversation

    The released report is read together at the appointment, in plain language.

Machine learning helps make the measurements as accurate and clear as we can. One frozen model version is used, so a later sample can be compared with the same reference.

CONCEPT · RESEARCH REPORT

Clarity, including the limitations.

Our planned report structure brings observations, research comparisons and uncertainty into one conversation. Shown here as a concept, with example data.

Chapter 1 of 3

Microbiome overview

Community composition and measured biological features.

Chapter 2 of 3

Research context

Relevant studies, comparison populations and methods.

Chapter 3 of 3

Interpretation & limits

Uncertainty, missing information and questions for further study.

The report describes, compares and explains. Diagnosis and treatment decisions remain with the clinician.

THE CLINICAL WORKSPACE · PROTOTYPE

A review desk
built for judgement.

The clinical workspace is a working prototype. These are its real screens, photographed with example data. Every result, source and decision stays visible until the clinician releases the report.

OUR FIRST RESEARCH FOCUS

Starting with
neurological conditions.

Our initial research priorities are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The exact pilot population and protocol are being developed.

01

Alzheimer’s disease

02

Parkinson’s disease

03

Multiple sclerosis

Help ask the right questions.

We welcome conversations with neurologists, researchers and patient organisations about meaningful study endpoints, feasibility and responsible interpretation.

OUR JOURNEY

Where we are,
and what comes next.

Four milestones, from the prototype that exists today to a service that would follow validation. Timing depends on research findings, partnerships and the necessary approvals.

  1. ✓
    DONE SO FAR

    A working prototype

    The research method, the portal and clinician review have been built and tested with example data.

  2. WE ARE HERE

    Preparing the pilot

    Agreeing the study protocol, laboratory arrangements and clinical input, and preparing for the required approvals.

  3. NEXT

    Learn from a first study

    Run the pilot once approved, with follow-up and repeat samples, to find out whether this is feasible and useful.

  4. LONGER TERM

    Prove it before offering it

    Further validation and any regulatory steps would come before a service could become available.
