UBC is the industry leader in outcomes research. Our experts
evaluate the impact of diseases and medical interventions – such as
biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and diagnostic technologies –
on health outcomes.
We combine a unique portfolio of scientific disciplines, including
health sciences, psychometrics, epidemiology, psychology, as well as
other social sciences, to measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs)
and evaluate the measurement qualities of PROs. We also develop
studies to evaluate symptoms, measure health-related quality of
life, and evaluate treatment satisfaction and patient preference.
Our work helps identify and clarify unmet clinical needs, assess
burden of illness and evaluate patient outcomes, preference and/or
compliance, while supporting promotional and labeling claims.
UBC scientists, strategists, and technicians collaborate with
clients to design a research that is best-suited to address the
research question – from concept development through platform
selection and instrument design.
