Title: Flexible EDC solutions · Alt: An airplane is flying high in the sky

Meta Description:
Explore how Koncile’s scalable and flexible EDC solutions optimise electronic data capture in clinical trials, outperforming legacy platforms with AI-powered OCR, real-time reporting, and seamless API integration.

Why Flexible EDC Solutions Matter

Clinical trials generate mountains of data. From eConsent forms to lab reports and patient diaries, managing this information quickly and accurately is vital. The good news? You don’t have to settle for rigid, one-size-fits-all tools anymore.

Enter flexible EDC solutions. Platforms that bend around your protocol, not the other way round. They let you:

Spin up new studies in hours, not weeks
Handle mid-study amendments without downtime
Give sites real-time access to critical data

But not all platforms deliver on that promise.

Meet the Competitor: Sitero’s Mentor EDC

Sitero’s Mentor EDC has powered sponsors and CROs for over 20 years. Here’s what they do well:

Proven scalability: 3,000+ studies, 13,000+ sites, 60+ countries
Speed gains: 40% faster study start-up
Cost cuts: 54% lower site admin costs
Real-time reporting: 100% data transparency
Built-in eSource readiness and randomisation

Great track record. Yet some organisations hit walls:

Manual data review still common
Limited handling of unstructured documents (e.g. PDF lab reports)
Template libraries require extra setup
Custom workflows need specialised IT support

In short: Mentor EDC excels at form-based capture. Less so at automated OCR and AI enrichment for diverse document types.

How Koncile Fills the Gaps

Koncile blends advanced OCR, Machine Learning, and API-driven automation to power truly flexible EDC solutions. Let’s break it down:

1. Koncile Extract

Our state-of-the-art OCR engine tackles unstructured files—scanned consents, lab prints, referral letters—and converts them into structured data with a 99% extraction success rate.

Over 100 pre-designed templates
Custom training on your document types
GDPR-compliant, encrypted processing

2. Koncile Automate

Once data is captured, Automate cross-references it with your internal databases. The result? Enhanced accuracy and built-in quality checks before anything lands in your EDC.

Automated flagging of anomalies
Real-time enrichment via RESTful API
Seamless integration with existing workflows

Real-World Example: Accelerating a Rare Disease Trial

A European biotech sponsor needed to onboard seven sites across three countries. Their biggest headache? Transcribing paper lab reports into the EDC. Traditional methods meant:

Days of manual entry
Human errors and queries
Delayed interim analyses

With Koncile Extract + Automate, they:

Uploaded scanned lab PDFs to Koncile
Automatically extracted key metrics (e.g. biomarker levels)
Pushed clean, validated data straight into their EDC via API

The outcome? Study build trimmed by 50% and query resolution time slashed in half.
