EDC core modules for clinicedc/edc projects.
Project description
clinicedc
Here are a set of python modules that extend Django to empower you to build an EDC / eSource system to handle data collection and management for multi-site longitudinal clinical trials.
Refer to the specific open projects listed below for example EDC systems built with these modules. The more recent the trial the better the example.
The codebase continues to evolve over many years of conducting clinical trials for mostly NIH-funded clinical trials through the Harvard T Chan School of Public Health, the Botswana-Harvard AIDS Institute Partnership in Gaborone, Botswana and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Almost all trials were originally related to HIV/AIDS research.
More recent work with the RESPOND Africa Group formerly at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and now with the University College London Institute for Global Health has expanded into Diabetes (DM), Hypertension (HTN) and models of integrating care in Africa (https://inteafrica.org) for the three main chronic conditions – HIV/DM/HTN.

The implementations we have developed are mostly eSource systems rather than the traditional EDCs.
The clinicedc for each trial consists of a subset of trial-specific modules that reference this module.
(python 3.12, Django 4.2, MySQL 8+, see setup.cfg)
How we describe the EDC in our protocol documents
Here is a simple example of a data management section for a study protocol document: data_management_section
