Project Requirements
The collaboration between COUCH Health and My Language Connection began in September 2021, and we’ve become a vital partner in the development of some of their clients’ projects. Our first project was for the Voice Over in 16 languages for the recruitment into a clinical trial exploring hemato-oncology and investigate a new treatment. Shortly after this project, we supported with translating and localising clinical trial documentation for a her2 metastatic breast cancer trial. In 2022, we have supported with translation of outreach emails as well as transcription and translation of participant videos for a research study into Sickle cell.
Approach
We have collaborated and worked closely with COUCH to form part of their extended team. By having MS Teams calls to ensure we understand exactly the brief of the project and their clients’ expectations, to working to tight deadlines and helping find the perfect voice over artist for their client’s projects. The requirements of the project were to ensure the documentation and voice overs came across as friendly and welcoming whilst taking into consideration cultural nuances and localising the content to the country to help COUCH achieve a high rate of patient participation and retention in the trials.
Solution
As the translation of patient trial documentation can be a sensitive task, since location ethics and culture can impact patient interpretation of what is being asked of them, it can be a challenge to get this right. but with the help of our specialist translators who are industry specialists and/or have lived experience, we were able to fulfill COUCH’s needs, enabling them to distribute culturally and ethically accurate translations that their patients fully understood. This helped toward the successful recruitment, running of their and analysis of their trials and allowed the required data to be gathered which was needed to move onto the next phase of their project. This collaboration has been another big step for us continuing our growth as a recognised quality translation provider within the Life Sciences sector.

Clinical Trial Translations
Accurate translation is critical to the entire clinical trial procedure. It must be performed to the highest standard to ensure data is preserved during the translation. As the need for clinical trials grows, so does the demand for translation services. The need for clinical trial translations is evident with more of these research studies conducted in developing countries that do not necessarily speak English. To bridge the gap in...
Machine Translation Technology – It’s just not that simple
A Changing World - but should it be? We live in a world where, in the modern day, it makes so much sense for many companies to use machines rather than human workers for day-to-day tasks. This can range from large scale manufacturing to ordering screens in fast food restaurants. The objective for businesses seems clear – the use of machines and computer software can speed up the process while cutting the cost of employing large numbers of...
Patient Consent Form Translation
Why is translating patient consent forms in a simple language so important? Sometimes as the nature of a procedure is often very technical, it is important that the patient fully understands simply what the procedure involves so as they are fully aware of how the procedure will work, what is expected of them doing it, what the potential consequences might be - if it is a new drug they are trialling or a vaccine, is there potential that the...
