SmartSource™ Platform

One platform. Direct source data. Faster database lock.

SmartSource™ captures clinical data directly from investigators and patients—eliminating transcription, reducing queries, and giving you real-time visibility into your trial.

Traditional clinical technology creates problems, not solutions

Most sponsors piece together multiple systems from different vendors. EDC from one company. CTMS from another. Separate tools for ePRO, randomization, and document management. The result? Data silos, integration headaches, and no single source of truth.

Multiple Systems

Traditional trials require 5-7 separate technology vendors. Each system stores data differently. Each integration point creates risk.

Transcription Errors

Paper source documents get transcribed into EDC. Every keystroke introduces error potential. Every error generates queries.

SDV Burden

CRAs travel to sites to verify source data against EDC entries. Expensive. Time-consuming. Adds weeks to your timeline.

SmartSource eliminates these problems by design.

A unified platform built for direct source data capture

SmartSource™ is Validcare's proprietary clinical trial platform. Unlike traditional eClinical systems that bolt together separate tools, SmartSource was designed from the ground up as a single, integrated platform where source data is captured directly—at the point of care.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

SmartSource includes all the clinical technology capabilities your trial requires—integrated into a single platform with unified data, workflows, and reporting.

Data captured at the source. Queries eliminated before they start.

The fundamental difference between SmartSource and traditional eClinical systems: we capture data directly from the person who knows it—the investigator or the patient—at the moment it's created.

Traditional Approach
  1. 1 Investigator records data on paper source document
  2. 2 Data transcribed into EDC by site staff
  3. 3 Transcription errors generate queries
  4. 4 CRA travels to site for SDV
  5. 5 Queries resolved over weeks/months
  6. 6 Database lock delayed
vs
SmartSource Approach
  1. 1 Investigator enters data directly into SmartSource
  2. 2 Edit checks validate in real-time
  3. 3 Data flows clean to sponsor
  4. 4 No transcription = no transcription errors
  5. 5 No SDV visits required
  6. 6 Database lock in days

Key Benefits

Significantly Fewer Queries

No transcription means no transcription errors. Real-time edit checks catch issues at entry. Queries that would take weeks to resolve never exist.

Elimination of SDV

When source data IS the EDC data, there's nothing to verify. SDV visits—and their costs—disappear.

Faster Database Lock

Continuous data cleaning throughout the study. No backlog of queries at study end. LPLV to DBL in days, not months.

Lower Data Management Costs

Fewer queries to manage. No SDV travel. Reduced CRA overhead. Technology does the work.
