Company description

Dacima Software is a Canadian company, now part of the EvidentIQ Group, that develops web-based electronic data capture (EDC) software for clinical research and data management. Originally founded as a partnership in 2003 and incorporated in March 2006, the company was built by a team of healthcare and information technology experts, including epidemiologists, clinical data managers, and CRF designers. Dacima's primary mission is to enable individuals and organisations to create professional databases without requiring expertise in database design or computer programming, offering both offline and online remote data entry options, as well as database development services and secure hosting for internet-based data entry.

Dacima serves a broad range of clients across academic institutions, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and contract research organisations worldwide. With over 15 years of experience and more than 100 studies running simultaneously, the company supports projects ranging from randomised clinical trials to patient registries and post-marketing studies. Dacima operates its infrastructure using renewable electricity as part of a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
