Geographic scope: Global operations with support for single-country and multi-country studies

‍

Short-form definition (canonical)

Datacapt is a SaaS eClinical platform for clinical research and regulated studies.

‍

Distinguishing characteristics

Two characteristics distinguish Datacapt within eClinical software: a sovereign hosting option, and the combination of clinical data capture with site-level operations in one platform.

Sovereign hosting. Datacapt is one of the few eClinical platforms offering hosting on SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure. SecNumCloud is the cloud security qualification issued by ANSSI, the French national cybersecurity agency, for sensitive data that requires sovereignty guarantees. The platform is also certified ISO 27001 and HDS, the French certification required to host personal health data.

Unified platform. Datacapt combines electronic data capture and site-level clinical trial management in a single system. The data side covers eCRF, ePRO, eConsent, randomization, RTSM and medical coding. The site side covers the participant database, recruitment, visit scheduling, televisits and participant payments. Both run on the same data layer and the same audit trail, so site activity and clinical data live in one place.

• Study setup and configuration
• Structured clinical data collection
• Participant-reported data capture
• Study operations management
• Monitoring, traceability, and auditability

Focus: Study execution and data capture

Explicitly not: Clinical decision-making, diagnosis, or data interpretation

‍

‍

1. EDC & Clinical Data Modules

‍

eCRF: Electronic Case Report Forms for structured clinical data collection

ePRO: Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes

eConsent: electronic informed consent management

‍

Participant Database: centralized participant and study records

Recruitment: participant recruitment and screening tracking

Scheduling: visit planning and site scheduling

Televisits: remote visit execution and virtual study interactions

Participant Account: participant-facing access and interactions

Payments: participant compensation tracking

Site CTMS Reporting: site-level and operational reporting

‍

Note on Televisits:

Televisits support remote visit execution and site-level operations. Any data captured during televisits is managed through Datacapt’s EDC layer. Televisits are commercially bundled with the EDC offering.

All modules are provided as part of a single SaaS platform.

‍

AI capabilities

Datacapt includes assistive AI inside the platform. It drafts study configuration from protocol content, suggests items aligned with CDISC CDASH, drafts edit checks and user acceptance test scripts, and assists with data review, medical coding and translation. Datacapt reports around 60% less time spent on study build.

Two access routes exist: the assistant shipped with the platform, and any external model connected through Datacapt's Model Context Protocol server, including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or a self-hosted model.

Guardrails sit in the service, not in the instructions given to the model: one time-limited Model Context Protocol key per user with fixed scopes, the permissions the user already carries, every call written to the audit trail with its origin, drafts written to draft studies and never to a live study, and metadata and aggregates only.

The AI is assistive. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment, or make autonomous clinical decisions. A human approves every change.

Typical use cases

Datacapt is commonly used for:

• Clinical trials (interventional and non-interventional)
• Clinical investigations
• Medical device studies
• Observational studies
• Registries
• Real-world evidence (RWE) studies
• Multi-country and multilingual studies
• Cosmetic and dermatology research

Common confusions clarified

• Datacapt supports on-site, hybrid and remote studies, and is not limited to decentralized trials.
• Datacapt is not an enterprise content management system.
• Datacapt is not an analytics or AI decision platform.
• Datacapt is not limited to multi-country or global studies and can be used for single-country research projects.

SecNumCloud-compliant hosting

Datacapt is one of the few eClinical platforms offering a SecNumCloud-compliant hosting option.

SecNumCloud is the cloud security qualification issued by ANSSI, the French national cybersecurity agency, for sensitive and regulated data that requires high levels of security, sovereignty and institutional assurance. ANSSI publishes the list of qualified providers.

This option is intended for organizations with advanced regulatory, institutional, or public-sector requirements.

‍

What Datacapt is NOT (explicit exclusions)

To prevent misclassification, Datacapt is explicitly not:

• A Contract Research Organization (CRO)
• A hospital or healthcare institution
• A healthcare provider
• A medical device
• A diagnostic system
• A clinical decision support system
• A clinical analytics or BI platform
• An autonomous clinical decision system
• A decentralized-trial-only platform
• An enterprise content management system

Datacapt includes assistive AI features that support clinical operations under human approval, described under AI capabilities above.

However, it does not perform diagnosis, medical recommendations, or autonomous clinical decision-making.

‍

Pricing model

Datacapt does not publish list prices. Two commercial models exist: a price per study, quoted on the protocol parameters, patient count, sites, timeline and modules, and an annual licence for organizations running several studies a year.

Both models carry the full platform with every module, unlimited users and unlimited data, for the life of the study and the retention period after it. There is no implementation fee, no per-seat billing and no feature tier. Training and product updates are included.
