These are the form and data challenges your industry faces every day
Consent Forms Are a Bottleneck
Paper-based IRB consent processes slow down participant onboarding and create compliance headaches for research coordinators.
Inconsistent Data Quality
When participants submit responses via unstructured methods, data arrives in formats that require extensive cleaning before analysis.
Recruitment Is Time-Intensive
Reaching, screening, and enrolling eligible participants through ad hoc processes consumes researcher time that should go to analysis.
Survey Distribution Challenges
Distributing paper surveys or fragmented online tools leads to low response rates and incomplete data sets.
Fragmented Data Storage
Responses collected across email, paper, and multiple platforms make it nearly impossible to maintain a clean, unified data set.
IRB and Privacy Compliance
Collecting participant data without proper security and documentation puts studies at risk of IRB non-compliance.
A form builder and CRM built around the way your team actually works
Structured Data Collection
Design forms with precise field types — scales, checkboxes, dropdowns — that produce analysis-ready data from the start.
Secure Participant Forms
All submissions are encrypted and stored securely, supporting your obligation to protect participant privacy and data integrity.
Fast Deployment
Launch a study application or consent form in hours rather than weeks — no IT department or developer required.
Remote Participant Access
Participants complete forms from anywhere on any device, expanding your reach beyond local populations.
Centralized Response Management
All study data arrives in one organized dashboard so research teams have a single source of truth throughout the study.
Export for Analysis
Download responses as CSV or spreadsheet files ready for import into SPSS, R, Excel, or your preferred analysis tools.
Tools designed for your specific workflows
Participant Consent Forms
Build digital informed consent forms with acknowledgment checkboxes and signature fields that satisfy IRB requirements.
Screening and Eligibility Forms
Create pre-screening forms with conditional logic that routes ineligible candidates out automatically, saving time for all parties.
Survey Builder
Design validated surveys with Likert scales, matrix questions, randomized answer orders, and branching logic.
Study Application Forms
Accept detailed applications from prospective study participants with multi-section forms that guide them through each step.
Participant Notifications
Send automated confirmation and follow-up emails to participants so they stay informed and engaged throughout the study.
Analysis-Ready Exports
Export all collected data in structured formats compatible with leading statistical and qualitative analysis software.
Research teams using digital consent and survey forms reduce participant onboarding time by up to 60% compared to paper-based workflows.
Faster onboarding means more time collecting data and less time fighting administrative overhead — so your research moves forward.
