Practical experiences
We are advocates for academic research and provide institutes with an open, customizable and flexible solution for diverse research projects.
“The major advantages of OpenEDC for us are user-friendliness, extensibility and interoperability. By supporting the CDISC ODM data standard, we can export and import both metadata and clinical data in a widely recognized format.”
“Decentralized data storage and record linkage is a vital factor for us. We use it to implement federated projects without disregarding the needs of the participating sites. Each clinic retains control over its data – and yet comprehensive monitoring is possible with OpenEDC.”
