Electronic Data Capture (EDC)

Electronic data capture (EDC) is a key technology that can improve data quality and provide enormous efficiency for the data collection and cleaning process required by clinical trials. By collecting data electronically and allowing access and visibility to all stakeholders involved in the trial, EDC helps facilitate rapid data review and queries resolution, and ultimately accelerates database lock.

The DataLabs^® EDC solution is the cutting-edge EDC system from Perceptive Informatics, suitable for all types and sizes of clinical trials. The advanced functionalities of the DataLabs solution are uniquely focused on optimizing usability and simplifying work flow for biopharmaceutical organizations. Specifically designed to facilitate smooth user processes, its comprehensive feature set includes user-role-based displays, robust search functions and intuitive query management tools.

As one of the industry pioneers, the DataLabs solution provides a single electronic clinical data management platform to unify the functionality of paper data entry (PDE) with the flexibility of EDC. The unique hybrid capability enables studies to include sites using paper CRFs and support existing paper processes such as collection of extraneous paper data. Built with optimal usability in mind, it includes “heads down” data entry features to ensure users interact with the system in a way that is most familiar to them. With the DataLabs solution, sponsors have total freedom to choose their preferred method of data collection.

The DataLabs solution is also bringing about a radical shift in the way technology solutions can be used together in clinical trials. Its tight interoperability with the ClinPhone^® RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management) solution allows users to perform randomization and dispensation activities directly within the EDC solution, without having to log into IVR or IWR systems. Blurring the boundaries between EDC and RTSM through product convergence, the DataLabs solution is dramatically simplifying workflow for site and sponsor users when utilizing both solutions.
