eConsent
Digital informed consent with multimedia, plain-language explanations, and comprehension checks for clinical trials, integrated with ePRO and patient engagement workflows.
Overview
Datacubed's eConsent is a digital informed consent solution built for clinical trials, designed to transform one of the most critical moments in a study — the consent process — into a clear, human, and empowering experience. Rather than relying on dense PDFs and manual paperwork, Datacubed delivers a multimedia-rich, compliance-ready consent workflow that meets patients where they are, while giving sites, sponsors, and CROs the consistency and oversight they need.
Unlike standalone eConsent tools, Datacubed's solution is fully integrated within the same platform as ePRO, eCOA, and patient engagement solutions, keeping every part of the participant journey in one unified ecosystem. This integrated approach eliminates workflow fragmentation and supports a seamless experience from first consent through study completion.
