eCOA
Faster study start-up, while building rich patient experiences
eCOA (Clinical Outcome Assessment) is revolutionizing the way sponsors, CROs, and sites collect electronic data from patients, physicians, and caregivers. Medidata’s eCOA capability is built using Designer, enabling Sponsors and CRO partners to build rich patient experiences via intuitive drag and drop screen templates and visual workflow tools. Available through myMedidata, patients can easily access their study tasks through the web or an app on any mobile device.
Built as part of the unified Medidata Platform, Medidata’s eCOA improves your study experience with flexible deployment options, a groundbreaking global instrument library, and dedicated services and support.
Image Capture Directly Into eCOA Forms
Combining the power of eCOA with Rave Imaging, eCOA Image Capture enables patients and caregivers to take and share pictures from their mobile devices and upload them directly into the eCOA, eliminating the need for extra site visits or multiple technology solutions. Images become available for immediate review, delivering greater insights for both sites and sponsors, while enhancing the patient experience. This patient-centric feature also enhances the use of eCOA in hybrid and decentralized clinical trials.
The Medidata eCOA Difference

Significantly Cut Study Build Times
Powered by the new Designer tool, gain flexibility in customizing all aspects of eCOA using a library of approved and reusable forms leading to time savings of up to 50% on study builds. As part of a unified platform with a single point of data entry, there are fewer queries and cleaner data with no end-of-study mapping or integration required.
