From research idea or protocol, to full EDC study
Relay is an AI-assisted tool that helps researchers turn research ideas and protocols into structured, EDC-ready studies.
What is Relay?
Relay is an AI-assisted tool that helps researchers turn both research ideas and protocols into structured, EDC-ready studies. Collaborative by design, human-in-the-loop and EDC-agnostic, Relay works alongside researchers to simplify study design, reduce manual work and let teams keep using their existing EDC.
-
Collaborative by design
Bring researchers and technical teams together in one workflow.
-
Works with your existing EDC
Enhance platforms like Castor and REDCap instead of replacing them.
-
Automation with control
Speed up study setup while maintaining structure, validation, and oversight.
-
GDPR-proof
All research data remains within the EDC of choice.
How it works
-
DesignResearcher
Start from a research idea.
Relay guides you from a first question to a structured study design.
-
BuildRelay, then you
Build the study from a protocol.
Relay turns your protocol into a study you can check and refine.
-
Check & rehearseData manager
Check it, then rehearse it.
Rehearse the study with a dry run before anyone is enrolled.
-
ReviewReviewer
Approve it together.
Your team reviews the study and signs it off.
-
ExportYour EDC
Export to your EDC.
Take the finished study into the EDC you already use.

Who we are
We are a multidisciplinary team bringing together expertise in clinical research, research methodology, software development, and product innovation. We believe researchers should spend their time on the science and the questions that matter, not on repetitive administrative work and complex study setup.
That’s why we’re building Relay: a collaborative AI-powered platform designed to make research creation faster, more structured, and more reliable. From the initial research question to the study protocol, ethical documentation, data collection setup, and beyond, Relay helps researchers and teams work together in one connected workflow.
Our goal is simple: to make high-quality research easier to design, easier to collaborate on, and easier to scale.
