Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System
Modern clinical trials require modern technology. Leverage the flexibility and speed of the cloud with TrialKit.
Neither traditional nor hybrid clinical trials can operate on rigid EDC systems.
They require flexible data collection systems that support protocol amendments without downtime and accept mobile data without hassle. As a cloud-native solution, TrialKit bends to accommodate mid-study changes. And as the first full-featured EDC platform available as a native mobile app, TrialKit flexes to meet the demands of traditional, hybrid/decentralized, and completely remote clinical trials.
Give your team the freedom to build, deploy, and manage their studies, their way—weeks faster than with rigid EDCs and for a fraction of the cost of the major players.
What is an EDC System?
An Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system is a digital platform used in clinical trials to collect, manage, and store clinical data. Unlike traditional paper-based methods, which are prone to delays, transcription errors, and logistical hurdles, EDC systems enable real-time, secure data entry and monitoring from any location.
TrialKit goes beyond basic data capture. It’s a fully mobile, cloud-based system that empowers researchers to collect data directly from sites, patients, or wearable devices—anytime, anywhere. With native mobile apps for iOS, Android and Mac, TrialKit supports decentralized, hybrid, and site-based studies, setting it apart from traditional web-only EDC platforms.
Who Benefits From EDC?
Electronic Data Capture systems streamline data collection and management across a wide range of clinical research stakeholders. Whether you’re running a small pilot study or a large multinational trial, EDC systems like TrialKit can scale to fit your needs. Those who benefit include:
- Clinical Research Organizations (CROs): Simplify study builds, manage multiple trials, and ensure high data quality across sponsors.
- Pharmaceutical and Biotech Companies: Gain faster insights, improve compliance, and accelerate time to market.
- Investigators and Academic Researchers: Access an affordable, self-configurable system with powerful tools, perfect for limited budgets.
- Sponsors and Study Coordinators: Monitor progress in real time, reduce site burden, and drive operational efficiencies across global trials.
TrialKit’s flexible licensing, scalability, and end-to-end capabilities make it an ideal fit for organizations of all sizes.
