eCRF Clinical trials – The History

Our eCRF experience starts in 1999 with Bayer Italia. The requirement is to create a powerful system for the data entry of their clinical trials. So the first eCRF system allows double data entry and has a client interface to design and organize the pages of the eCRF.

Then we validate the system and make it compliant with the regulations for electronic data capture, in particularly with FDA requirements.

In 2004 the system becomes a service: Aram designs the eCRF. In this way our Customers save resources and costs for training and implementing.

In 2010 eSMART becomes a Web platform. It’s an important step for us to overcome the installation problems and to let all the users of the trial to access always and everywhere to their clinical study.

Now eSMART centralizes all the data and services in cloud.

eSMART has been created by expert analyst and developers following software engineering techniques. On the other side the experience of researchers has been fundamental for the evolution of the system.
