Designer
Study build tools have improved, but trial timelines are still under pressure. The real delays don’t happen during initial setup. They show up later, when protocol changes trigger reviews, rework, and uncertainty across the study.
Medidata Designer is a study build solution designed to keep protocol intent, study configuration, and downstream execution connected as change happens.
Design Studies to Keep Up with Change
Built to go beyond initial setup, Designer connects protocol intent to study configuration so updates are defined once and managed consistently as studies evolve.
By centralizing how changes are handled, teams reduce rework, maintain alignment, and keep studies moving from start-up through closeout.
Protocol-aligned Builds
Centralized Study Updates
Reduced Downstream Rework
Clear Version Traceability
Stay in Control as Studies Evolve
Built for Change
Keep Studies Aligned as Protocols Evolve
Designer manages study configuration as a single source of truth. When protocols change, updates are applied once instead of rebuilt across forms and systems.
This helps teams manage amendments without fragmenting study structure.

FAQ
How does Medidata Designer accelerate study build timelines?
The platform utilizes AI-powered automation and a protocol-first approach to address delays throughout the build lifecycle, from protocol intake to validation.
Does Medidata Designer support products beyond Rave?
Yes. Medidata Designer creates a single source of truth for the study build across multiple trial capabilities. Beyond Rave, it is used to build patient experiences for Medidata eCOA (including complex instruments and CNS trials) and configure sensor studies using low-code/no-code tools.
Can we reuse study components and forms across different trials?
Yes. The platform is built with automation and reuse at its core, enabling teams to "build once and deploy everywhere." It features global libraries that allow sponsors to store and reuse standardized instrument builds, forms, and translations, which ensures consistency across systems and reduces the time spent on future builds.
How does the platform utilize AI to assist with study configuration?
Medidata Designer uses AI to handle the "heavy lifting" of study setup, such as instantly translating study plans into digital case report forms (eCRFs) and providing intelligent suggestions. It automates high-volume, low-complexity tasks—like generating study objects and edit check logic—while keeping a "human-in-the-loop" to apply real-world expertise.
Does Medidata offer training for its clients and partners?
Yes. Medidata offers a variety of training options for our clients and partners, including both self-paced and instructor-led courses. To learn more about available courses and to access our resources, please visit the Medidata Global Education and Training section.
