⎯⎯⎯ Captivate EDC
Flexible, Pre-Validated Electronic Data Capture Built for RealWorld Clinical Trials
Configure faster, stay inspection-ready, and scale seamlessly with a pre-validated EDC designed for studies of any size.
Captivate EDC is a modern, enterprise-grade Electronic Data Capture system designed for clinical data managers who need flexibility, control, and speed without the overhead of rigid, expensive platforms or the limitations of lightweight tools.
Built for studies ranging from small, fast-moving pilots to complex global programs, Captivate EDC combines intuitive, no-code study build tools with advanced optional customization and powerful livestudy capabilities.
Captivate EDC is pre-validated and compliant out of the box, helping teams reduce startup timelines and focus on running the study, not managing infrastructure or validation burden.
Captivate EDC is designed to support how data managers actually build and manage studies, balancing ease of use with advanced configurability.
Drag-and-drop CRF and visit design with conditional logic, validations, and calculations
Support for complex workflows, adaptive designs, and sub-studies
Reusable forms, visit schedules, and libraries to standardize across programs
Optional JavaScript support for advanced functionality
Full audit trails for all configuration and build changes
Most Captivate customers build studies using intuitive, drag-and-drop tools without writing code.
For more advanced use cases, Captivate also supports optional scripting and custom functions, giving experienced teams additional flexibility without forcing complexity on everyone.
Captivate EDC is pre-validated, meaning the core system has already undergone validation by our team. This significantly reduces the effort required by sponsors and CROs and accelerates time to golive.
