EDC | Electronic Data Capture

Cleaner data. Faster study build.

EClinCloud EDC pairs AI-driven study build with OCR-assisted source capture in one platform — covering data collection, remote review, and transparent standards management, engineered around ALCOA+ principles.

01

60% less build effort

AI reads the protocol — 200+ pages at a time — and generates visits, forms, linked tables, and edit checks in one pass, cutting study build effort by 60% and accelerating go-live.

02

Entry time cut to a third

AI-powered OCR parses source records and syncs them straight into EDC at 95% recognition accuracy — per-form entry drops from 8–10 minutes to under 3, with 20% less SDV effort.

03

ALCOA+ by design

Strict access control and granular user permissions, validated database changes, and a certified SOP framework keep every data point traceable.

How it works

01
Stage 1

Parse the protocol

Upload the protocol and let AI decompose visit schedules and data collection requirements — 200+ pages handled in one pass.

02
Stage 2

Build the study

Visits, CRFs, linked tables, and edit checks are generated end to end; data managers review and confirm online with virtually no menu-by-menu setup.

03
Stage 3

Capture data

Sites enter data on PC or mobile; paper source records flow in through OCR with automatic redaction of sensitive information.

04
Stage 4

Review remotely

Data management teams run remote review and transparent standards management, surfacing and resolving issues without waiting for site visits.

05
Stage 5

Lock and deliver

Clean, lock, and export the database, then hand off to data management and biostatistics services for submission-ready outputs.

Core capabilities

AI study build & CRF design

  • AI parses the protocol and decomposes visit flows
  • Visits, forms, linked tables, and edit checks configured in one pass
  • Expert CRF design and study build services
  • Validated mid-study database changes — flexible and trustworthy

Data capture

  • PC and mobile capture designed for global and local workflows
  • AI-powered OCR reads source records and syncs in real time
  • Automatic redaction of sensitive information
  • Fewer transcription errors at the point of entry

Review & data management

  • Remote review with transparent standards management
  • Strong interoperability and data integration
  • Data management and biostatistics services

Compliance & security

  • Built around ALCOA+ data principles
  • Strict access control and precise user authorization
  • Certified SOP framework backing data protection

Training & support

  • System training with role certification
  • Intuitive UI and simple configuration keep the learning curve low

AI where it helps

AI agent study build

A large language model reads the protocol and configures visits, forms, linked tables, and edit checks end to end — 60% less build effort, 200+ protocol pages parsed, zero menu-driven setup.

AI-powered OCR capture

Source documents captured on PC or mobile sync in real time at 95% overall recognition accuracy — 50% faster data capture and 20% less SDV effort, with automatic redaction built in.

RAG-based document parsing

A retrieval-augmented parsing model tunes OCR to each document type, lifting recognition quality for the records your study actually uses.

Services & implementation

Study build, migration, training and managed operations come from the same team — implementing and supporting EDC never needs another vendor. See services →

Frequently asked

What deployment options are available, and where does data reside?
Regional deployment options are available to meet data residency requirements. The specific architecture and hosting arrangement are confirmed with your team during evaluation.
How does the system support regulatory compliance?
The platform is built around ALCOA+ principles, with strict access control, precise authorization, validated database changes, and a certified SOP framework. Detailed compliance documentation is available during evaluation.
Does AI-generated study build require human review?
Yes. Visits, forms, and edit checks generated by AI are reviewed and confirmed by data managers before go-live — AI removes repetitive configuration work, not professional judgment.
Can it integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. The system offers strong interoperability, native connectivity with EClinCloud RTSM, eCOA, and CTMS, and integration with external systems — scope is confirmed during evaluation.
