Science stays independent
Investigators own the design, analysis, and conclusions.
About
Builders who want the evidence.
Pippa Research is the research and grants practice of Pippa LLC, the company behind Pippa, a recovery companion for people in eating-disorder treatment and the clinicians who care for them.
Why research
Tools in care should be tested
Clinicians trust a tool when there is evidence behind it. We would rather earn that through rigorous, independent studies than claim it in marketing.
We built Pippa with clinicians and people with lived experience, and operate it every day for real patients. Partnering with research teams is how we find out what works, what does not, and for whom.
We keep the science with the scientists. Our job is to make the intervention reliable, documented, and the same for every participant.

Principles
How we approach research
Safety first
No calorie, weight, or score feedback in research builds for eating-disorder studies.
No overclaiming
Feasibility studies report feasibility, not efficacy.
Privacy by default
Patients decide who sees their data, and demonstration data stands in for real data in every figure.
