REDcap

What is REDCap?

Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a web-based application developed by Vanderbilt University, designed to facilitate the secure capture and management of data for clinical research. It is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant, highly secure, and intuitive to use. REDCap utilizes instruments like surveys and forms to capture research data efficiently.

The platform allows for the creation of self-sufficient, secure databases called projects, which can be used for standard data entry or surveys across multiple distinct time points. These projects are workflow-based, with a focus on data collection and exporting for analysis in statistical software like SPSS, R, or Excel.

REDCap ensures a secure environment for research teams to handle highly sensitive information, making it an excellent tool for projects requiring strict data privacy and compliance. You can learn more about REDCap at the official REDCap site.
