ATLAS will collect and analyze more than 1,000 real-time adherence assessments from healthcare providers and patients across the world with support from Athena. In parallel, Cliniphai and Adherence are embarking on a landmark project to demonstrate how Athena’s human-guided, AI-augmented translation technology can streamline the localization of clinical trial endpoints and patient-facing materials to ensure faster timelines, greater cost-efficiency, and uncompromising clinical quality.

“This partnership represents a major step forward in advancing global adherence science and transforming how clinical trials engage diverse populations,” said Jason Martin, MS, MBA, Chairman and Co-Founder at Cliniphai. “Working alongside Philip Morisky and his team, we’re equally amplifying the reach and impact of the MMAS and demonstrating how Athena can redefine clinical translation by delivering high-quality, regulatory-compliant localizations with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and scale. Together, we’re setting a new standard for how life sciences organizations connect with patients and improve health outcomes worldwide.”

Raising the bar for global adherence and localization

The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) is a globally recognized, validated gold standard for measuring medication adherence in clinical trials and healthcare settings. As part of this collaboration, Cliniphai will localize MMAS condition-specific instruments into five additional languages, including Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and French, with plans to expand to all 40 languages currently covered within the tool.

Key project objectives include:

  • Faster localization, with early beta testing showing a potential 3x increase in speed compared to traditional methods and measuring through complete end-to-end timelines.

  • Greater cost-efficiency, projecting a 2-3x reduction in cost for translation and localization processes for greater access and scalability.

  • Maintaining clinical equivalence and compliance, by upholding MMAS’s clinical validity through expert reviews, cognitive field testing, and co-validation by Dr. Morisky’s expert network. All work aligns with ISPOR standards and best practices in global health research.

“This partnership helps us strengthen the clinical application of MMAS globally and gives us the opportunity to further expand language capabilities to improve accessibility and global adoption,” said Philip Morisky, Chief Optimus of Adherence. “It also accelerates the development of Athena as a trusted platform that addresses the critical challenge of ensuring that language is never a barrier to better data, deeper insights, and improved patient outcomes. Together, we are laying the foundation for a more inclusive and effective approach to medication adherence worldwide.”

A global call to action

On March 27, Adherence and its ATLAS platform will offer the world’s first real-time snapshot of global medication adherence, powered by MMAS assessments. The event will collect adherence data from every inhabited continent, providing a powerful lens into the behaviors and challenges that impact health outcomes globally.

The World Adherence Day initiative has already garnered participation commitments from several teaching hospitals and universities worldwide. Students, residents, and community health workers will conduct MMAS assessments within their local communities, pharmacies, and hospitals, generating meaningful data to inform future healthcare policies and practices.
