Definition

Electronic Data Capture (EDC) refers to the use of software systems to collect, manage, and store clinical trial data electronically. EDC systems streamline data entry, validation, and reporting processes, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while reducing errors and improving efficiency in clinical research.

Relevance to the MedTech Industry

EDC systems are critical in the clinical evaluation of medical devices, enabling secure, accurate, and efficient data management throughout the trial lifecycle. By simplifying data collection and ensuring data integrity, EDC systems support regulatory submissions and accelerate time-to-market for new devices.
