Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System
Capture, validate, and manage clinical trial data in a unified system, enhanced by embedded intelligence that supports study design, analysis, and decision-making.
Clinical trials today require more than rigid EDC systems.
They need flexible data collection environments that support protocol amendments without downtime, accommodate mobile and decentralized data capture, and adapt as studies evolve. As a cloud-native solution, TrialKit is designed to support these demands across traditional, hybrid, and fully decentralized trials.
Beyond flexibility, TrialKit extends electronic data capture with embedded intelligence that supports study design, validation, and analysis within the same platform. Give your team the power to build, deploy, and manage studies their way, with the ability to move faster through study setup and gain earlier insight into study performance.
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 mobile-friendly, 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.
While traditional EDC systems focus on data collection and validation, modern platforms are extending these capabilities further. TrialKit incorporates embedded intelligence that supports study design, data analysis, and validation within the same environment.
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.
Multiple studies, single sign-on
Sponsors and sites have controlled access to all studies—via web or mobile app—with one sign-on.
AI-assisted study design and configuration
TrialKit supports study build and configuration with embedded intelligence that helps generate forms, evaluate structure, and drastically reduce manual setup time.
Make mid-study changes with zero downtime
No more hair-puller days spent fighting your EDC. No more time-consuming migrations. Make study modifications with the click of a button.
Easy eCRFs
Move field variables anywhere on the form using drag-and-drop functionality in TrialKit’s universal design tool. Create edit checks and annotated PDFs, export form data dictionaries, and more.
Reuse and repurpose forms and study builds
Save weeks off study builds by repurposing forms, variables, and conditional actions. Replicate and repurpose any study across multiple accounts from anywhere.
Secure site management
With control of 250 permissions and form access rights throughout the system, you can give sites and users only as much access as they need.
Integrated query management
Perform queries via the web or mobile app or use system-generated queries from data updated in real time. View complete audit trails to monitor study risk.
From data capture to study insight
Go beyond collecting data to understanding how studies behave. TrialKit AI enables earlier evaluation, simulation, and more informed decision-making.
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.
