ABOUT

A small experienced team, built in Australia.

eCOAla stems from a keen interest in testing and trialling new AI models, and in understanding how they can address the common frustration of slow expansion in traditional eClinical technology. Clinical outcome assessments are the natural fit: they carry the most consequential measurement in a trial, and they reward better methods for measuring data and automating the work around it.

THE NAME

Three parts, one idea.

ECOA · THE FOCUS

Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment

The instruments and systems that capture how a participant feels, functions and survives — what every trial endpoint is built from, and the whole of our focus.
LA · THE METHOD

Learning and Automation

Machine learning that reads every rating in a trial, rater learning that gets clinicians measuring consistently, and automation that removes the manual dossier building and reconciling that consumes trial teams.
AUSTRALIAN · THE BASE

Built in Australia

One of the world's strongest clinical research workforces, and a trial environment whose data is accepted by the FDA and EMA.
TEAM

The people.

Taylor Major, MBA MPH

DIRECTOR

Over a decade across clinical research — site operations, CRO leadership and commercial strategy at scale, spanning traditional, hybrid and fully decentralised models across biotech, global CROs and consumer health.

PhD candidate researching the feasibility of decentralised trials in Australia, with peer-reviewed publications on decentralised trials, telehealth equity and digital health acceptability.

Dr Andrea Nguyen, PhD

SCIENTIFIC LEAD

PhD in Biochemistry and Immunology. Leads the scientific programme: instrument science, validation methodology and the evidence behind every tool eCOAla puts on a study.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

eCOAla acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia on which we live and work, and the enduring scientific and knowledge traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We hold ourselves accountable to measurement and data practices that serve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and self-determination.
