What is eConsent?

eConsent, or electronic consent, refers to the use of electronic systems and processes to obtain informed consent from individuals. It typically involves presenting information about a study, treatment, or procedure electronically (e.g., via a website, tablet, or mobile app), allowing individuals to review the information, ask questions, and then provide their consent electronically, often through an electronic signature or other authentication method. eConsent aims to improve the informed consent process by enhancing comprehension, accessibility, and efficiency, while also providing better documentation and audit trails compared to traditional paper-based consent.

eConsent Complementary Technologies

eCOA

Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) is complementary as it gathers patient-reported data during a trial, which can be linked to eConsent workflows to ensure patients understand and acknowledge the implications of their participation based on outcomes. eCOA can be integrated with eConsent to provide a more comprehensive view of the patient's experience.
