eCOA: Digital bespoke questionnaires and universally recognised clinical scales

Capture the high-quality neurocognitive data you need for your study quickly and efficiently using a single platform. Available in multiple languages and across multiple devices, our eCOA solution enables you to collect valid data across all your sites with patients from different countries, as well as self-administration to support decentralised trial without rater presence. All responses are collected electronically, scored in near real-time, then uploaded to a secure database, giving you immediate access to your data.

Rater Training: Simplifying the Burdensome

Cambridge Cognition understands that conventional rater training can often be cumbersome and inefficient. To address this, we have developed an advanced rater qualification and management program that ensures raters are well-prepared to conduct cognitive assessments to the highest standards, all while simplifying the training process.

Our method is founded on a comprehensive insight into the typical challenges and error patterns faced by raters. We customize our training to align with the experience levels of each rater, which reduces the training burden and accelerates the timeline for study start-up. With Cambridge Cognition, you can trust that your raters will be thoroughly equipped to deliver exceptional results efficiently.

Scale Management: Speed, reliability, and reputation 

The right assessment scales not only facilitate the evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness but also enhance the reliability of trial results. Poorly chosen or poorly managed scales can lead to delayed timelines, increased costs, and compromised data quality, ultimately affecting the overall integrity of the trial. Our dedicated clinical operation team fosters collaborative relationships with license holders, translation specialists, and other essential partners to ensure that you receive accurate and timely delivery of the scales you need. These positive relationships are evidenced by our consistently excellent client Net Promoter Scores.

Central Monitoring: Save up to 60% compared to other providers 

In the complex landscape of clinical research, even small rater errors can lead to significant discrepancies, impacting the reliability of the results. Effective central monitoring not only helps to catch these errors early but also reinforces the credibility of the clinical findings. 

At Cambridge Cognition we implement systematic checks and balances, so researchers can enhance the accuracy and value of their data.  Using our unique and proprietary tools, we combine the efficiency of automated quality assurance with the precision of human oversight to provide high quality review data at up to 60%* of the cost of traditional providers.
