MALVERN, PA — YPrime has earned two top distinctions in the 2025 Clinical Trials Arena Excellence Awards, gaining recognition for both artificial intelligence innovation and environmental leadership as pressure mounts on the clinical research industry to move faster and operate more responsibly.
The company received awards for Innovation for AI in Clinical Trials and Environmental Excellence for Sustainable Trials. The honors, based on independent research conducted by GlobalData, recognize organizations delivering measurable progress across the global clinical trial ecosystem.
YPrime was cited for applying domain-specific artificial intelligence to a persistent bottleneck in global trials: the localization of electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments, or eCOA. The process typically involves migrating translated content into digital platforms, a manual and error-prone step that can delay study launches and inflate costs.
By automating the migration process itself, YPrime said it reduced complexity without removing expert oversight. Its AI migration engine is trained on proprietary file structures and tagging logic, allowing text, formatting, and technical elements to align accurately before human review.
In a comparative analysis covering 15 studies across 11 languages, the company reported a 74 percent reduction in migration errors, a 60 percent drop in screens requiring rework, and a 67 percent faster localization review cycle, with no new error types introduced by the AI system.
Jonathan Norman, YPrime’s director of localization and scale management, said the approach removes friction from one of the most technically challenging stages of global eCOA delivery while preserving the role of linguists where judgment and expertise matter most.
The second award recognized YPrime’s efforts to embed sustainability into clinical trial execution. Its digital-first platforms for eCOA, interactive response technology, and eConsent are designed to reduce paper use, shipping, and site-based workflows. The company reported an 87 percent reduction in printed trial documents over three years, full reuse or recycling of trial devices through circularity programs, and zero Scope 1 emissions, alongside reductions in Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.
YPrime has also integrated sustainability standards into supplier oversight and earned EcoVadis Bronze and CDP “B” ratings in 2024.
Chief Executive Officer Ian Lennox said the company views innovation and environmental responsibility as complementary, not competing, priorities. He said embedding ethics, sustainability, and human-centered design into business strategy is essential as clinical research becomes more global and data-driven.
The awards follow a series of recent product launches, including advanced eCOA oversight tools, automated data change forms, and expanded connected device integrations. YPrime was also named a Leader in the Everest Group’s 2025 eCOA PEAK Matrix Assessment and recognized as a Trailblazer in Patient Engagement.
Together, the honors position YPrime as a technology provider focused not only on accelerating trials, but also on reshaping how clinical research balances speed, quality, and responsibility.
