What is EDC Systems?

EDC systems, or Electronic Data Capture systems, are computerized systems designed for the collection of clinical trial data in electronic format. They replace traditional paper-based methods of data collection, streamlining the process of gathering, cleaning, and managing information during clinical trials. EDC systems enhance data accuracy, reduce errors, and accelerate the overall clinical trial timeline by enabling real-time data entry and validation. They are commonly used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for conducting clinical research.
