REDCap
Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a widely used electronic data capture platform, designed to replace paper-based surveys and spreadsheet-based data capture systems. Although originally designed as a clinical research tool, REDCap is appropriate for any discipline of study that requires secure and clean data capture. There is also an offline data capture capability through the REDCap Mobile App.
As a member institution of the ever-growing REDCap global consortium, WE-SPARK hosts an independent REDCap instance with local management and support.
