Electronic Data Capture Software Vendors for clinical trials
If you are involved in the management of clinical trials and are looking for a comprehensive list of electronic data capture (EDC) software vendors, then you are in the right place.
At betterclinical we work diligently to try and categories the major variations of software and technologies used to run and manage clinical trials. Hopefully we get it right. In the case of EDC software, we have identified over 50 EDC solutions. We will update the list from time to time. What follows is a list of EDC solutions Part 1.
Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software is used in clinical trials to digitally collect, validate, audit, manage, store and analyze clinical research trial data, ensuring real-time access to critical information. It replaces traditional paper-based methods, offering greater efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
EDC software plays a pivotal role in clinical trial operations by streamlining the data collection process, allowing researchers to capture data directly from patients, clinical sites, and laboratories. This enhances data quality, reducing errors, accelerating trial timelines, ensuring data accuracy and ultimately enhancing regulatory compliance.
According to research reports, the EDC market is expected to show strong growth over the next decade. The continued growth of the global electronic data capture (EDC) market can be attributed to the growing number of clinical trials across the globe, the continued complexity of capturing and managing data before, during and after a clinical trial and the continued technology maturity of pharmaceutical companies and CROs to web-based applications.
For the sake of clarity, we have provided the list of EDC Software Solutions in alphabetical order and provided the description found on the vendor’s website.
This is not a review of each vendor’s solution. It is simply highlighting available EDC software solutions.
