Our user-friendly EDC is loved by research teams and investigators who need flexibility and speed backed by real human support. Launch compliant eClinical solutions for any study protocol faster while simplifying data collection.
The problem
Academic teams often have to juggle small teams and tight timelines across multiple studies.
Our solution
Use our intuitive no-code builder and reusable forms to help lean teams speed up builds and run multiple studies at once.
The problem
Recruiting and training sites can be challenging, especially when most EDCs are confusing and unintuitive for investigators and site teams.
Our solution
Keep sites happy and reduce oversight burden with eCRFs that mimic familiar paper forms and an intuitive user interface.
The problem
Tracking protocol changes and re-consenting participants takes time and resources that academic teams often don’t have.
Our solution
Make mid-study updates fast and compliant without downtime or migrations thanks to built-in eConsent and protocol amendment version controls.

What our clients say about us
“It is a one-stop shop product for clinical trials management.”
Malathi Associate Scientist“Prelude EDC is very user-friendly, both for the builders creating the forms, and the users completing the forms. Staff using the forms in our study have been very positive about the experience. Highly customizable forms can be made with the building tool, and the on-form calculations, conditional fields and error checks are very helpful to prevent data entry errors.”
