Unified Electronic Data Capture
Support familiar eCRF workflows, automate capture with Zero Data Entry (ZDE™), and connect external sources—without forcing every study into the same operating model.
The data capture challenge
Traditional eCRFs remain essential. At the same time, more study data now arrives from EHRs, laboratories, devices, real-world sources, documents, and partner systems. Managing each source in isolation creates duplicate work, delayed visibility, and inconsistent provenance.
CDP gives sponsors and CROs one governed strategy for every method of electronic data capture.
The CDP approach
CDP helps sponsors and CROs avoid the tradeoff between operational stability and innovation. It supports familiar EDC, introduces automation where it reduces burden, and connects external sources through a common control framework.
Give sites a dependable eCRF experience developed in-house, operated continuously for more than two decades, and refined through real-world clinical research.
Capture source data electronically so qualified teams can review, verify, and act instead of repeatedly retyping it.
Bring laboratories, EHRs, devices, real-world data, and partner systems together to extend visibility beyond episodic site visits and support decentralized and hybrid trials.
One governed intake model
Data from every source is governed by shared validation, identity, provenance, and security controls—so downstream teams work with connected clinical data instead of disconnected transfers.
Capture governance & control
Modern capture only improves a regulated study when each data point remains trustworthy. CDP applies common controls across manual entry, automated eSource, and connected systems.
Every entry, transfer, transformation, and approval remains associated with its user, source, or system.
Edit checks and ingestion controls are applied as data enters the governed clinical data estate.
Role-based access and least-privilege controls protect data across organizations and workflows.
Complete audit history and lineage preserve the path from source through review and downstream use.
Designed for practical impact
Modern capture is not a choice between EDC and automation. It is the ability to use the right method for every source while preserving one governed clinical data estate.
Frequently asked questions
CDP combines established clinical research operations with modern capture methods—without asking study teams to abandon the workflows that already work.
CDP supports traditional remote data entry and eCRFs, proprietary Zero Data Entry (ZDE™) technologies, and connected data from laboratories, EHRs, devices, wearables, real-world sources, and partner systems.
No. Simplified Clinical developed this capability in-house, has operated it continuously for more than two decades, and has refined it through real clinical research experience. It remains available 24/7/365.
ZDE™ refers to Simplified Clinical's proprietary technologies for reducing manual transcription through electronic source capture, interoperability, and document intelligence. Qualified people remain responsible for review and approval.
Connected devices, wearables, EHRs, and real-world sources can extend visibility beyond episodic site visits, support decentralized and hybrid study models, and create richer longitudinal datasets within one governed environment.
