Diversity and inclusion
To bring equitable products to market, clinical trials need proportionate representation.
At Velocity, we believe diversity must be prioritized at the site level, where clinical research is most visible in communities. Sites act as the frontline of clinical research, making their role in representing, understanding, and engaging diverse communities vital.
Therefore, Velocity is heavily invested in leveraging the power of local influence to drive change. Our focus is on managing what we can effectively control at the site level to foster a more inclusive and representative clinical trial landscape.
Diversity Programs at Velocity
Removing Language Barriers: Employing bilingual staff, utilizing real-time translation services across all sites, and offering materials tailored for minority groups.
Making Sites Representative: Tools to analyze local demographics (census data) and ensure proportionate participant and employee representation. About half of Velocity’s workforce identifies as non-white.
Engaging Communities: Establishing partnerships with local groups, appointing community liaisons, and initiating charitable programs.
Focusing on Patients: 2023 SCRS Patient Centricity Award Winner for innovative programs.
Featured Case Study: Doubling the Average Participation Rate of Diverse Populations in Cognivue’s FOCUS Study
“I cannot overstate the value this diverse data capture brought to the FOCUS study. Participants in research trials should represent the patients who will use the medical device, and this is often not the case since people from racial and ethnic minorities and other diverse groups are generally underrepresented in clinical research, especially research related to neuroscience.” - Tom O’Neill, President and CEO, Cognivue
