Ergomed’s goal is to find the best electronic data capture (EDC) solution for the specific needs of each project.

 

We use three different approaches to EDC, depending on the needs of your clinical program.

1. IBM CD EDC build

Where additional functionality is required – for example, electronic clinical outcome assessments, (eCOA) or integrated investigational product (IP) management and dispensing – we offer to build an EDC system using the IBM clinical development (IBM CD) system.

Our team of certified IBM CD designers are fully integrated into the wider data management team, enabling streamlined communication and reduced build times. IBM CD is a modular system, so costs are based on modules used and data stored, offering competitive pricing.

IBM CD has all the functionality of market-leading EDC systems plus two additional advantages:

  • IMP Management: The ability to maintain a complete inventory of intellectual property, automatically trigger re-supply, track orders and dispense of individual items per patient.
  • eCOA (ePRO, eDiary, eConsent): A wide range of data captured directly in real-time via patients, clinicians and caregivers, and any web-enabled device or phone app. Patients using electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) demonstrate significantly higher protocol compliance and real-time availability of data offers faster clinical development.

2. External EDC build

We are able to support clients who prefer to use a different system by building an EDC alongside our qualified vendors (for example, Medidata Rave, Oracle Inform and VIEDOC).
