REDCap: a secure data capture tool
REDCap helps you and your research group to securely collect, manage, archive and report research data, such as clinical trial data. The application provides web-based case report forms, real-time data entry validation, audit trails and the ability to set up a calendar to schedule and track critical study events such as blood draws and patient visits.
A secure data management solution
