Cliniphai, an AI Agent and Framework platform purpose-built to solve complex challenges in life sciences, announced a strategic partnership with Gibson Research Consultancy (GRC), a global leader in health communication, patient voice research, linguistic validation and patient-centered research for Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA and eCOA) and other related health information and patient-facing documents. The partnership brings together GRC’s world-class expertise and Cliniphai’s AI-powered Athena™ platform to redefine how translation and localization services are delivered across clinical trials.

GRC has provided services for nearly every top pharmaceutical company, with over 11,000 COA and eCOA validation projects completed across more than 250 languages and more than 190 countries and territories. Under this new collaboration, GRC will perform its full suite of linguistic validation services directly through Cliniphai’s Athena platform.

Work has already begun, with GRC teams actively managing studies through Athena’s centralized environment. The platform enables project visibility, version tracking, ISPOR-compliant workflows, and integrated QA monitoring to provide both service providers and sponsors with greater control and confidence across timelines and geographies.

“This partnership is the clearest signal yet of how AI can support trusted experts in delivering global outcomes,” said Jason Martin, MS, MBA, Chairman and Co-Founder at Cliniphai. “GRC has set the global standard for COA translation excellence, and Athena provides the tools they need to deliver at scale with structure, speed, and quality.”
