Innovations in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) Systems for Clinical Data Management

Abstract

Thomas Mann

Clinical data management plays a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. The accurate collection, storage, and analysis of clinical data are critical for drug development, medical research, and ensuring patient safety. In recent years, there has been a significant shift from paperbased data collection to electronic data capture (EDC) systems. These EDC systems have seen remarkable innovations, transforming the way clinical data is handled. In this comprehensive review, we will explore the latest innovations in EDC systems for clinical data management, their benefits, challenges, and the potential impact on the future of healthcare and medical research.
