Secure and confidential medical and clinical research forms scanning and data capture services to digital format such as PDF and data output to Microsoft Excel, CSV, SPSS and XML etc.
Data collection for medical research
Our automated data capture services provide speed and accuracy to organisations such as universities and NHS Trusts nationwide. High volumes of hand-completed forms are scanned and captured with clinical efficiency, accuracy and compliance. Clinical and medical research and trials are the longest, most expensive component for any drug and study development process, with a trial involving hundreds to thousands of people and costing organisations millions.
Some of the costs are linked to data collection from paper-based forms for clinical research and analysis. With clinical research and trial teams working under pressure to effectively manage their costs to ensure their budgets and timescales are closely monitored, this is one area where our automated data capture service can reduce cost and bring efficiencies within the process. After all, it is widely acknowledged that the clinical development and medical research remains largely a paper-driven process.
Our clinical forms and document data capture and collection bureau can read handwritten forms via a specialist scanner to extract data from individual forms, record marked diagrams as an image, correct errors and validate the captured data before automatically exporting the results to either a CSV file, Excel spreadsheet, XML or to your existing databases.
