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.
Independent 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.
Why Choose TrialKit for Your EDC Needs?
TrialKit EDC’s flexible, configurable architecture adjusts with your protocol amendments, making it easy to add cohorts and sites, modify dosing regimens, and more. Rigid systems don’t have this functionality.

How an EDC System Improves Clinical Trials
An EDC system brings efficiency, accuracy, and compliance to clinical trials, transforming the way data is collected and managed. TrialKit enhances these benefits with mobile-first technology, real-time analytics, and unified integration with other critical study tools.
Increases Trial Efficiency
By enabling real-time, remote data entry and monitoring via mobile devices, TrialKit accelerates data collection and reduces site visits, streamlining trial workflows. Learn more.
Reduces Errors and Improves Data Accuracy
Built-in data validation checks flag discrepancies at the point of entry, ensuring high-quality data throughout the study lifecycle. TrialKit also has direct data capture (DDC) tools to minimize transcription errors. Read about integrating DDC with EDC.
Enhances Compliance
With features like audit trails, role-based access, and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and GDPR, TrialKit helps ensure your trial meets regulatory requirements. Explore the basics of EDC compliance.
