> Designed for clinical research, Prelude EDC is a CFR, Annex 11, and HIPAA compliant EDC solution that streamlines the data collection process, automates data cleaning efforts, and monitors the state of electronic case reports forms (eCRFs). Prelude EDC cuts down on operational flows and reduces user-errors for clinical trials using inventory management, invoicing, and document management functionality, while also providing high-level data visibility using quick filters and data aggregation tools. &#10;&#10;&#10;As a data collection solution, Prelude EDC allows users to capture digital information with unlimited rows using standard data entry elements such as text fields, radio buttons, drop-downs, and checkboxes or with custom data entry elements such as VAR scales and interactive charts. Users can utilize powerful edit checks to confirm that all data is collected for eCRFs and meets form requirements. Built-in data indicators are able to identify the state of eCRFs and focus on forms that are in-progress and forms that display errors.&#10;&#10;&#10;For patient-reported outcomes, Prelude provides a mobile app, Prelude ePRO, that enables patients to input data directly for an easy and efficient experience.

### "Great experience for first time EDC builder" — 5.0/5

> **Carly** | *10 April 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our customer success manager \[sensitive content hidden\] and engineer \[sensitive content hidden\] were very helpful throughout the whole process of building something the EDC was not made for. They were constantly helping us troubleshoot and ensuring what we built worked for all stakeholders.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't think of much, but calculations can seem a little complex sometimes. However, Prelude hosts monthly webinars to help you become more comfortable with the software.

### "Prelude EDC is a great user-friendly EDC on the frontend and backend" — 5.0/5

> **Meghana** | *2 February 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Prelude EDC customer support staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. As the Data Manager for clinical trial studies, I am able to collaborate with support staff to solve EDC-related problems and make improvements within the study EDCs. The EDC is very easy to use for both study clinical staff and study data staff.
> 
> **Cons**: I dislike that sometimes EDC revisions have not been tested thoroughly before being passed to the study team for review.
> 
> Overall, I have enjoyed my experience with using Prelude EDC and the Prelude support team.  I would recommend Prelude to others.

### "Prelude, the best kept secret in all things data\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *4 October 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is very flexible. Any changes that may be required are a very simple fix. Most EDC companies take days and committees to go through updates.
> 
> **Cons**: This software and the support behind it are all superb. I haven't mastered the ability to pull data in charts and other visuals for the C-Suite, but I imagine that is an easy process as well.
> 
> I have used Vision for several years, and several studies. The system is fast and easy to use. Sites like the  intuitive structure and ease of data entry.

-----

### "Incredible EDC with unparalleled versatility and customizability\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The VISION EDC system is a user friendly interface that allows for one stop shopping.  Everything you can possibly need to run a clinical trial is wrapped up in one package with customizability for the project at hand. The entire team from coordinators at the sites to managers and data analysts at the coordinating center have nothing but positive things to say about the system and its ease of use.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't come across an issue that doesn't exist in all other EDC systems such as the burden of administrating user accounts for large consortia which is a product of the end user more so than any one system.
