An Erasmus+ Proposal to Modernise ADHD Support Training
A university-led consortium engaged writing support for an Erasmus+ Alliances for Innovation proposal addressing gaps in professional training for ADHD support across Europe. The project aimed to develop a competence-based pathway for the ethical and effective use of AI-enabled approaches by professionals. It proposed a structured learning model with digital delivery and pilot implementation, designed for transferability across higher education and continuing professional development settings.
Training AI for Scientific Writing
A prominent AI company engaged scientific writers to train its language model for scientific writing. Dekaokto Solutions produced scientific content exemplifying different types of scientific writing, evaluated AI-derived content for its argumentation and accuracy, and designed prompts and guidelines to produce these types of deliverables. This effort improved the AI model’s performance in generating high-quality scientific content.
Educational Modules for Nurses Stationed in Remote Regions
A nurse placement agency commissioned the development of 14 educational modules for nurses stationed in remote regions. These modules covered nursing-related topics, including patient safety, ethics, the scope of practice, emergency care, and medication administration. As a subcontractor, Dekaokto Solutions drafted the modules with another medical writer, ensuring the content was evidence-based, clinically grounded, engaging, and aligned with nursing practice standards.
Validating ChatGPT in Systematic Reviews
A research team, including Dr. Kouzoukas, validated ChatGPT's efficiency and reliability in conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis using GLP-1 receptor agonists' effects on all-cause mortality as a case study. ChatGPT generated search strategies, screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias—all verified by human reviewers. Its meta-analysis hazard ratio calculations also closely matched human results, supporting AI's potential to streamline the systematic review process. This work is published here.
An EIC Accelerator Proposal for Biotech Innovation
A biotech client engaged a consulting firm to write a short-form proposal and pitch deck for the Horizon EIC Accelerator program. The consulting firm enlisted Dekaokto Solutions to refine the application by highlighting the innovative aspects of the client’s product in development and clearly presenting the project’s goals, potential impact, and alignment with EIC Accelerator’s objectives.
Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial Patient and HCP-Facing Materials
Dekaokto Solutions reviewed and edited various materials and websites intended for patients and for healthcare practitioners (HCPs). These updates were made to reflect a newly updated Phase 1/2 study protocol for a medical communication agency's end client, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company.
Analysis of the Haematological Malignancy Ecosystem in Two Countries
A medical affairs provider sought a market research report surveying the haematological malignancy ecosystem in two countries for their Fortune 500 pharma client to inform their product development strategy. Dekaokto Solutions created a comprehensive report for each country using client-provided data consisting of disease epidemiology, clinician interviews, standard of care, and information on local research centres, research groups, professional societies, and patient advocacy groups.
News Portal Content Development for Healthcare Professionals
A healthcare news portal aimed to enhance its visibility and authority among hospital managers, healthcare providers, and executive decision-makers through targeted web content covering recent advancements in medical technology, healthcare policies, clinical research, hospital management, and digital health. Over 190 short-form articles were written, significantly boosting the portal’s Google SEO ranking to the first page, thereby establishing it as a top resource for industry leaders.
The Impact of AI and Digitalisation on Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
The end client, a Fortune 500 pharma company, requested a report on AI and digitalisation in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The report described AI's enhancements in drug discovery, clinical trials, supply chain, and decision-making through automation and predictive analytics. The report also addressed regulatory challenges, global efforts to standardise AI applications, and provided case studies demonstrating AI's impact on drug design, literature review, and clinical trial processes.
COVID-19 Risk Mapping in South Korea
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a network of researchers (including Dr. Kouzoukas) leveraged their personal connections to form a collaborative team. Motivated by the pandemic's epidemiological significance and public health implications, and drawing on their combined expertise and resources, this team focused on developing a methodology to map COVID-19 vulnerabilities in South Korea using epidemiological and socioeconomic risk factors. This work is published as a peer-reviewed, open access journal article.
