Show Notes

In this episode of LifeSci Talks, Mark Wade, Global Practice Leader & COA SME at TransPerfect Life Sciences, is joined by Katja Rudell, VP of Patient-Centered Outcomes at Kielo Research, to take a behind-the-scenes look at the reality of patient-centered instrument development. They discuss diaries and quality of life tools, rare disease challenges, and proxy reporting, as well as the tradeoffs that can often occur in balancing regulatory rigor, patient burden, and realistic instrument usability. Listen in to hear why multiple instruments for the same disease can often create not only frustration for patients, but can also overburden them simultaneously.
