 eCrf system – story and evolution

In 1999 Aram starts a project with Bayer Italia: the aim is to create a system for data entry of clinical trials.

So Aram develops a powerful engine for CRF clinical data management fully-validated with FDA requirements for collecting clinical trial data.

In a first phase the engine is engineered in client-server technology with a client interface for the eCRF development.

Our customers choose to left eCRF design in our hands saving resources and costs. In 2004 the engine becomes a “service”: eCRF is designed by Aram.

In 2010 the system, following technology evolution, becomes fully Web and is named e.Smart web.

In 2010 is born cloud e.Smart platform with centralized services in cloud.

Our system is “easy to setup”: about two hours and its “Ready to go!”

 

eCrf system – WHO

eCrf system – Features

Our eCrf system is a high quality web application developed with deep clinical and software expertise. As a web system it is ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE available.

We use these main adjectives to describe e.Smart:

  • Simple
  • Fast
  • Secure

Simple because its interface, simply to use and intuitive, is always the same, for all studies. Personalization, such as sponsor or study logo are possible, for every study. A short and simple training is necessary at first study to understand all the process. After the first trial the interface is well known.

Fast because developed in efficient way using best programming tools. Once login with autentication is the way to access to more centres and patients.

Safe because is the evolution of a system used in more than 15 years, based on experience on the field.

Security is guaranteed by:

  • Authenticated access to the system in two different ways:
  1. Login to the system with user name and password
  2. QRAuth system access by smartphone.
  • FDA 21 CFR part 11 and CGP compatibility
  • Different user levels
  • Warning and alerts
  • Scheduled periodical backup
  • Last https certificate security
