Clinical Outcomes are proud to announce a new collaboration with Language Scientific for Translation, Linguistic Validation and COA Management Services
10th June 2020
Oxford University Innovation's Clinical Outcomes team are collaborating with Language Scientific to provide linguistic validation and translation services because of LS’ extensive experience and highest quality reputation in assisting clinical, medical and scientific organisations.
The Clinical Outcomes team are pleased to announce a new innovative collaboration with Language Scientific, Inc., the leading medical and scientific translation company. This strategic collaboration will allow for COA copyright owners and authors to reduce the time they spend managing health outcome measures as well as enable their instruments to be widely used in global study sites through robust translation, linguistic validation and cognitive debriefing of clinical questionnaires.
Reaching the widest possible audience whilst protecting the integrity of the instrument can be difficult when managing a COA instrument in house. It can become burdensome keeping track of users, licensees, translations, platforms and unauthorised or improper use of your COA. The Clinical Outcomes Team at Oxford University Innovation (The University of Oxford’s wholly owned technology transfer company) specialises in the dedicated, world class professional management of COA Instruments. They offer industry leading expertise assisting with COA development through their experience in managing all aspects of the licensing process, user support and comprehensive creative marketing.
Language Scientific’s experienced project managers, certified translators, in-country investigators, clinicians, psychologists, linguists and other professionals, combined with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 certified processes, ensure that the linguistic validation of COAs and eCOAs are both culturally appropriate and conceptually equivalent. Language Scientific’s Linguistic Validation services verify that translations of all items are interpreted in the same way across target populations and regions and have the same content validity. This ensures that measurement properties of the items will be the same across different language versions of the instrument and that data can be validly pooled across international sites and that the process will meet FDA and EMEA guidelines.
Oxford University Innovation’s Clinical Outcomes team are collaborating with Language Scientific to provide linguistic validation and translation services because of LS’ extensive experience and highest quality reputation in assisting clinical, medical and scientific organisations. Language Scientific has over 20 years of experience providing clinical translation, linguistic validation and cognitive debriefing services in over 215 languages to customers such as Amgen, Merck Healthcare KGaA, Eli Lilly, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Novo Nordisk and Roche. Their team of industry expert linguists and clinicians reside in over 120 countries and are assigned to a project based on their experience in the appropriate therapeutic area.
“At Language Scientific, we craft unique solutions for leading pharmaceutical companies and universities. This has enabled us to create a successful linguistic validation practice focused on providing the highest quality service to our customers” says LS CEO Sharon Blank. “By leveraging our native speaking medical professional linguists, we are able to provide the highest quality translations for our partners. Language Scientific is always looking to create partnerships with highly respected organisations that put quality first such as Oxford University Innovation.
