Electronic Data Capture

Octalsoft EDC is a comprehensive, yet highly configurable electronic data capture application. It’s a web-based system for managing single or multi-site clinical research studies with complete audit trail. The architecture provides a secure, robust and extensible system for managing multiple clinical research studies within a centralized database.

Octalsoft EDC can increase the data accuracy and decrease the time to collect data for studies of drugs and medical devices. The tradeoff that many drug developers encounter with deploying an EDC system to support their drug development is that there is a relatively high start-up process, followed by significant benefits over the duration of the trial.

As a result, for an EDC to be economical the saving over the life of the trial must be greater than the set-up costs. This is often aggravated by two conditions: 1) that initial design of the study in edc does not facilitate the decrease in costs over the life of the study due to poor planning or inexperience with edc deployment; and 2) Initial set-up costs are higher than anticipated due to initial design of the study in edc due to poor planning or experience with edc deployment. The net effect is to increase both the cost and risk to the study with insignificant benefits.
