Description
Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System- what is it? An Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system is a computer-based platform used in clinical trials to collect, manage, and store trial data electronically. EDC systems are designed to replace paper-based methods of data collection, which are often time-consuming, prone to errors, and not very efficient. Electronic Data Capture In Clinical Trials has been gaining popularity in recent years. An EDC system provides a centralized, secure, and real-time platform for data entry, management, and analysis. Key features of an EDC system include data validation checks, real-time data monitoring and reporting, automatic data backup, audit trails, and user management. They also allow for the capture of multimedia data such as images, audio, and video.
