EDC
Real-time clinical trial data capture with customizable forms, no-code design, and regulatory compliance for CROs, biotechs, and academic research.
Overview
DISTILL EDC is an Electronic Data Capture system developed by DISTILL Technologies LLC, designed for contract research organisations (CROs), biotech startups, and university research teams operating with smaller budgets and lean teams. The platform provides data collection, tracking, and analysis tools intended to replace disconnected tools such as spreadsheets, with a focus on ease of use, affordability, and regulatory compliance.
A central design principle of DISTILL EDC is that data managers can build, customise, and publish study forms and workflows without requiring specialist programmers or technical support. The system also supports protocol amendments — including form and workflow changes — without placing studies on hold, and at no additional cost.
