CommCare vs. REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture)

Our main use has been for research studies. It allows HIPPA compliant data collection with a vast amount of customization options, branching logic to keep collection clean, and validation to ensure data collected can easily be analyzed. We can send surveys to participants in between visits and use forms for in person visits where a staff member is collecting the information

• I appreciate the ability to add/change items within a field that may be beneficial or detrimental to the patient.
• I like the option to sort by year in the main information hub, as well as put specific dates of consultations & meetings within a patient profile.
• Very easy learn and use!

• REDCap is generally the best app for public health and clinical trials for both the academia and for-profit organization. However it is poorly marketed much effort is placed on the academia side though organizations like the pharmaceuticals, hospitals, insurance etc., would be willing especially when they get hear about it.
• REDCap needs to work on the user interface. It's kinda boring especially when designing surveys and when navigating for surveys
• The FAQ must be shortened , sometimes the videos associated with FAQ seem long.

It is very interesting to me especially that it meets all my needs. The libraries makes the job even much easier, since you can just make a few adjustments to the appropriate template chosen

REDCap surveys is designed according to HIPAA rules, FISMA, 21 CFR part 11, ICH-Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and GDPR, thereby making it more reliable for this market niche.

• It facilities the research
• It ensures HIPPA compliance
