Paper electronic data capture (Paper EDC) addresses the requirements for secure, traceable, data capture and processing efficiency in clinical investigations.

Paper electronic data capture combines the traditional convenience, security and traceability of the paper based approach with the data processing and speed to market benefits of Electronic Data Capture (EDC).

Paper based electronic data capture uses an electronic ballpoint pen, producing a traditional paper record whilst faithfully recording every pen stroke as the user fills out a CRF form, patient diary or makes notes in a daybook. When the user has finished writing, the data in the pen's memory is then uploaded to a computer system, creating a record of all the pen strokes plus an image of the paper document. Handwriting is automatically converted to XML ready for validation and analysis of the digital pen data.

The digital pen is convenient, simple to use and low maintenance. Trial efficiency is enhanced because data is available for validation and analysis immediately it is uploaded.

The paper EDC system is secure and data is fully traceable back to its source.
