eDOCS
AI-powered document management with intelligent versioning, compliance tracking, and role-based access for clinical trials.
Overview
Octalsoft eDOCS is a cloud-based electronic document management system (EDMS) designed for clinical research organisations, sponsors, and site teams. It uses AI-driven automation to handle document categorisation, version control, compliance tracking, and e-signatures, with the goal of keeping trial documents audit-ready while reducing manual administrative work.
The platform supports all clinical trial document types — regulatory, site, patient, and operational — and is built to maintain consistency across global, multi-site studies. It is designed to meet regulatory standards including ICH-GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, EMA, FDA, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Core Capabilities
- Centralized Digital Repository: Secure, cloud-based storage accessible anytime and from any location. AI-driven categorisation and metadata tagging enable instant document retrieval across all trial document types.
- Intelligent Version Control: Automated versioning prevents outdated or duplicate files from circulating. AI detects discrepancies between document versions, and full audit trails capture edits, approvals, and e-signatures.
- Seamless Collaboration: Role-based access controls are available for sponsors, CROs, and site teams. AI identifies bottlenecks in review and approval workflows, and real-time alerts keep distributed teams aligned.
- Automated Compliance Tracking: AI flags missing, expired, or non-compliant documents. Automated reminders cover renewals such as IRB approvals, CVs, and training records. Audit-ready reports can be generated instantly.
- eSignatures and Secure Authentication: Supports legally binding electronic signatures with AI-powered identity verification. Eliminates reliance on paper storage, printing, and manual filing processes.
Role-Specific Benefits
- Sponsors: Centralised oversight provides visibility and control over all trial documents. Automated audit trails and version control reduce compliance risks, and streamlined workflows accelerate regulatory and ethics submissions.
- CROs: Standardises documentation processes across studies and clients. AI-driven dashboards support proactive identification and resolution of compliance issues. Automated categorisation, tagging, and filing reduce manual effort.
- Site Teams: Reduces administrative workload and supports continuous audit readiness, allowing site staff to focus more on patient care and trial execution.
Add-ons and Integrations
- Octalsoft eConsent: Patient consents can be stored and tracked directly within eDOCS.
- Octalsoft CTMS: Trial documents can be linked to study milestones for operational oversight.
- eClinical Suite Integration: eDOCS connects with CTMS, eConsent, rSDV, EDC, and IWRS modules, providing unified oversight across the full trial lifecycle.
