Neuropsychological assessment using rating scales is essential in clinical studies and trials in the fields of psychiatry and central nervous system, but many clinical sites are struggling to secure doctors and psychometric specialists to administer rating scales.
In addition to having high level of expertise and skill, EP-Link’s assessment psychologists are also familiar with clinical trial operations and industry knowledge that can be leveraged to improve operational efficiency and solve various issues related to the efficiency, speed, cost, and data quality of industry-sponsored clinical trials.
In addition to clinical psychologists, EP-Link has contract mental health and welfare professionals, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other professionals.
In clinical trials and studies, primarily in the fields of neurology and psychiatry, EP-Link's assessment psychologists perform important work in the development of new drugs, such as quantifying and providing evidence of drug efficacy through neuropsychological assessment.
Our assessment psychologists visit medical institutions on the specified day of the week and administer rating scales. Therefore, it is possible not only to comply with protocol regulations, but also to conduct evaluations in an environment that is not biased in drug efficacy.

EP-Link regularly provides training on how to administer rating scales and group training to its registered assessment psychologists. Rating scales are administered with minimal inter-rater variability by using EP-Link's assessment psychologists with expertise and skills, backed by quality training and a track record of rating.
EP-Link's assessment psychologists visit medical institutions on the day of the scheduled rating and only administer the rating scale of the clinical trial, so that the drug efficacy can be evaluated without bias against the subject.
In the medical field, where labor shortages are becoming apparent, EP-Link's rater service allows rating scales to be administered without wasting the time of physicians and psychologists of medical institutions.
* EP-Link also provides raters to medical institutions supported by in-hospital CRCs or other SMOs.
These rating scales quantify the severity of disease, cognitive function, care burden, and safety.
Target diseases: Artz-Hymer's dementia, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders, pediatric diseases (congenital diseases)
