Scientific Consulting
Selecting the right device, method choice, and diary design are essential elements in ensuring your study data are collected accurately, per protocol and within budget. Arrowhead, in close collaboration with our scientific consulting partners, provides the following services in support of every ePRO project in clinical trials and other studies:
- Strategic consulting on instrument and platform selection to best suit each trial's needs
- Review of usability and validity of the interface and questionnaire wording during requirements development & design
- Recommendations regarding the need for additional psychometric validation work to support the electronic version of the instrument in regulatory submissions
Additionally, we can conduct validation studies including usability testing, content validation, cognitive debriefing interviews, and quantitative equivalence testing as needed. These services are provided by 16 Doctoral and 21 Master's level consultants who have extensive therapeutic area, instrument development, and validation expertise.
Working with our partners brings significant benefit to each project including objectivity and more exposure to a variety of studies. Additionally, our clients have the option to contract directly with this partner.
