CONTENT
Medical and life sciences content we work with
Clinical materials
Study-related documents and other clinical content supplied for translation or linguistic review.
Patient-facing content
Information intended for patients, participants and other non-specialist audiences.
Medical documentation
Medical and healthcare documents requiring accurate and consistent terminology.
Clinical outcome assessments
Patient-reported and other clinical measures that may require a structured linguistic validation process.
Training & educational material
Medical training, presentations and educational content for professional or patient audiences.
Corporate & marketing content
Business, product and marketing material for healthcare and life-sciences organisations.
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
Keeping specialist terminology consistent
Medical content often uses terminology that must remain accurate across documents and languages. We can work with approved terminology, reference material, previous translations and client-specific instructions throughout the project.
Approved terminology
Client-approved or project-specific medical terms can be used consistently across the content.
Reference material
Product information, previous translations and other supporting documents can be made available to the linguistic team.
Translation memories
Approved previous translations can be reused where the same or similar content appears again.
Client feedback
Approved corrections and terminology decisions can be added to the project resources used for future work.
LINGUISTIC VALIDATION
Clinical measures that need a documented validation process
Some clinical instruments require more than standard translation. Linguistic validation uses a structured series of independent translation and review steps to help preserve the same concept across languages.

SCOPE
Language services for medical content
VIAX provides linguistic services for medical and life-sciences content. Medical advice, clinical advice and regulatory approval are outside the scope of the language service.
Tell us about your medical or clinical content.
Send us the source material, target languages, timeline and the linguistic process you need. If the project involves a clinical measure, let us know whether linguistic validation is required. We’ll review the scope and come back to you with the recommended process, timing and cost.
