Animal Health
Build a study database to match any protocol with a flexible, intuitive platform built for real-world veterinary research.
Connect with an expertHow we power animal health research
Prelude has been powering companion and farm animal research for over 20 years. We’ve worked with nearly every major animal health company in the US and Europe, supported over 250 sites, and simplified workflows for research teams around the world. From man’s best friend to livestock, we’ve worked across a variety of species and studies.
The problem
EDC platforms are often built for human trials and require animal health studies to conform to systems and processes that just don’t work.
Our solution
Easily customize every field and form to your protocol so you can build custom veterinary studies that fit your needs.
The problem
Juggling multiple platforms and systems isn’t just frustrating — it slows down your team and increases the risk to your data.
Our solution
Use our all-in-one solution with features like IDEXX integration and VeDDRA/ATCvet coding built right in. Plus, Prelude is secure and compliant so you never have to worry about your data.
The problem
Most EDCs are either too inflexible or too costly to meet the needs of complex animal health research.
Our solution
Launch fast and manage protocol amendments using our drag-and-drop builder, built-in version control, and support for cross-form and advanced calculations and edit checks.
Powering research across species
Whether your next study is in canine oncology or equine cardiology, Prelude is built to fit your trial with tailored configurations and personalized support.
