Sure! I have over three years’ experience working on eCOA design projects in the SaaS industry, where I’ve led a variety of projects from documentation to implementation and user acceptance testing. My focus has been on adapting designs to meet client needs while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

I prioritize tasks by first assessing the urgency and importance of each project. I use project management tools to keep track of deadlines and milestones, ensuring that I allocate sufficient time for high-impact tasks while maintaining flexibility for unexpected changes.

To convey technical details to non-technical users, I focus on using clear, simple language and visual aids, such as flowcharts or diagrams. I also make sure to contextualize technical information with real-world examples that resonate with the users’ experiences.

I view client feedback as an essential component of the design process. I actively solicit input, listen carefully to their concerns, and work collaboratively to integrate their feedback into the design while maintaining the project’s specifications and timelines.

One significant challenge I encountered was aligning client expectations with technical feasibility. To overcome this, I facilitated several meetings with stakeholders to clarify requirements and preferences while also consulting with technical teams to find workable solutions, resulting in a design that satisfied both parties.

An eCOA Design Consultant plays a pivotal role in the success of clinical trials by designing systems that efficiently capture patient-reported data.
