What Is an eCRF Platform?
Modern trials demand precision, speed, and security—qualities paper forms lack. Electronic case report forms replace manual processes with digital tools, capturing patient data directly into secure systems. Unlike traditional methods, these solutions eliminate transcription errors and accelerate trial timelines.
Core Functionality
Our system transforms how researchers collect and manage clinical data. Key features include:
- Direct Data Capture (DDC): Enter information once—no redundant paperwork.
- Auto-Validation: Rules flag incomplete entries before submission.
- Cloud-Based Access: Instant uploads replace shipping boxes of paper forms.
Beyond Paper: The Digital Advantage
Traditional CRFs rely on manual entry, risking errors and delays. Here’s how we differ:
- Accuracy: Dropdown menus and predefined fields cut errors by 72% (*Greenlight Guru benchmark*).
- Security: 256-bit SSL encryption meets HIPAA and ISO 27001 standards.
- Efficiency: Milo Voice converts speech to text, slashing documentation time by 40%.
EDC systems like ours integrate seamlessly with existing workflows, ensuring compliance without compromising speed.
