Your synopsis, ready for the research office before the end of the week.
Protocolis is the methodological assistant for hospital investigators. The AI asks the right questions, structures the synopsis according to your regulatory framework, and delivers a compliant Word document — without leaving French soil.

Ethical considerations
Built with hospital research-office methodologistsCo-development underway with several pilot centers — references publishable once consent is formalized.
The regulatory framework
You describe your research. Protocolis infers the regulatory framework.
As you describe your project (population, data collected, patient pathway), the assistant identifies the applicable research category and the authorization circuit to follow.
Categories Protocolis can recognize
RIPH 1
Interventional research
Change to patient care, non-minimal risk. Ethics committee + ANSM circuit.
RIPH 2
Minimal risks & constraints
Acts outside routine care with low risk. Ethics committee only.
RIPH 3
Non-interventional
No change to patient care — observations, questionnaires, negligible sampling.
RNIPH
Research not involving the human person
Reuse of already-collected data, retrospective studies. Reference methodology framework (MR-004).
Drug studies
Research on medicinal products
Specific regulatory framework — RIPH 1 with ANSM requirements, investigator brochure, pharmacovigilance.
MD / IVD-MD
Medical devices & IVDs
MD clinical investigation or IVD-MD performance study. MDR / IVDR regulation + ANSM.
Is your case unusual? The team will look into it with you.
Method
Three steps. No blank page.
01
Describe your project
A few sentences: your question, your population, your indicator. No form to fill in blindly.
02
Build through conversation
The assistant follows up section by section, proposes methodological wording, searches PubMed, computes the sample size.
03
Export or share
Download the Word document compliant with research-office standards, or send it directly to your methodologist or department head via a secure link.
What Protocolis brings you
A methodologist who never sleeps. Not a chatbot.
The assistant probes the grey areas.
Rather than a blank page, Protocolis asks the questions a methodologist would ask — in order, with examples tailored to your specialty.
- Automatic detection of missing sections
- Suggestions contextualized by specialty
- Sample size and proposed statistical hypotheses
- Timestamped conversation history, exportable
You described an open-label design. For a comparative trial, a control arm is expected. Do you prefer individual or cluster randomization?
Individual randomization, 1:1.
Perfect. With a binary primary endpoint and an assumed effect of 15%, I propose n = 212 (two-sided α = 0.05, power 0.80). Shall we validate?
Illustrative preview. Protocolis outputs constitute a methodological working basis — final validation remains the responsibility of the reference methodologist.
Security · Sovereignty
Frame AI within your institution.
Your investigators already use ChatGPT to write. Protocolis gives the research office a compliant, auditable channel, hosted in France. Shadow AI becomes manageable.
Hosting in France
No data leaves French soil. Encrypted in transit (TLS).
Per-institution isolation
No leakage between institutions or between users. Your protocols stay confidential from teams competing on the same calls for proposals.
Your content is never used for training
Contractual guarantee. Independent annual audit.

Representative use cases
From resident to professor, the same methodological footing.
Three usage patterns observed with our pilot investigators. Named testimonials are published once consent is formalized — we do not fabricate quotes.
Junior hospital practitionerResearch-office feedback to address
Picking up a file on a tight deadline.
- Point-by-point review of research-office feedback
- Design reworded to expected standards
- New version returned within the week
Professor / senior practitionerPHRC-N grant assembly
Upstream framing before the biostat / methodology team.
- Structuring the synopsis before the team meeting
- A framing tool for supervised juniors
- Keeping methodological iterations
Case study · coming soon
The pilot cycle is underway. Measured results will be published.
Rather than displaying theoretical figures, we measure the real impact of Protocolis with our first pilot centers. Time to structure, number of methodological iterations, research-office acceptance rate — results will be published once the cycle closes.
Frequently asked questions
Everything investigators ask us.
Protocolis processes no patient data. The tool produces methodological content (synopsis, protocol, bibliography) from your description of the project — not from individual data. Furthermore, your content (conversations, synopsis, imported documents) is never used to retrain the models. Contractual guarantee, isolation per institution workspace, hosting in France.
Protocolis does not replace your methodologist — it saves you the hours of upstream structuring, so the methodological review focuses on substance. The CRAs at pilot centers use it as a reference draft.
Protocolis proposes the sample size, the hypothesis, the test and the justification — based on the cited literature. For complex designs (cluster, adaptive sequential, Bayesian), it asks the right questions and structures your later exchange with your biostatistician.
Each study is isolated to your account (or to your institution's workspace on an institutional license). No leakage between institutions, no external access — including for our team, except with explicit consent for support.
You resume the conversation with the assistant by submitting the research-office feedback — it generates a revised version point by point. All iterations are kept and exportable.
Word (.docx) in French, with layout compliant with research-office standards. PDF, English version, PHRC-N letter of intent and ethics-committee form are being added.
