ePRO/eCOA/eSource for Clinical Trials
Datatrak’s ePRO gives sponsors a stronger, more connected way to run patient-facing trial activity by linking directly to Datatrak’s EDC and RTSM systems. The built-in connection gives teams better oversight, cleaner data flow, and fewer limitations than standalone tools that rely on weaker system logic.
The only category our ePRO ranks below industry standard is cost. Datatrak’s ePRO helps expand patient enrollment, improve participation from underrepresented groups, and support more affordable access to care without forcing studies into bloated technology spend.
Increase Patient Engagement & Retention
Harness the power of informative videos, questions to measure comprehension, diagrams, images and study retention.
Flexible Design Capabilities
Build forms the way your team sees fit and make set up a breeze with pre-built libraries of standard eCOA forms.
Ensure Accuracy
Reduce confusion and error by enforcing workflows through edit checks based on the protocol.
Industry-Leading Innovation — 34 Years After Datatrak Pioneered EDC

Frequently Asked Questions
What is eCOA in clinical trials?
eCOA stands for electronic clinical outcome assessments, the digital methods used to capture how a patient feels, functions, or survives during a clinical trial. It includes patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), clinician-reported outcomes, and observer-reported outcomes. Datatrak’s ePRO software is directly linked to our powerful EDC and RTSM systems, giving study teams a far superior EDC “brain” behind every outcome captured.
What is the difference between ePRO, eCOA, and eSource?
ePRO (electronic patient reported outcomes) captures data directly from patients, typically about symptoms, quality of life, and adherence. eCOA is the broader category that includes ePRO alongside clinician and observer assessments. eSource refers to data captured directly in electronic form at the point of origin rather than transcribed from paper. Datatrak’s platform supports all three inside one natively integrated workflow.
What devices can patients use with Datatrak’s ePRO?
Patients can participate remotely using any device, including iOS and Android, through Datatrak’s decentralized clinical trial solution. Whether your trial is hybrid or decentralized, our ePRO simplifies the capture of electronic patient reported outcomes from patients and sites while enhancing data quality, and supports increased enrollment from underrepresented groups to meet DEI criteria throughout the trial lifecycle.

Regulatory Support for eSource
eSource, broadly, is the idea that data entered into an electronic platform, like an EDC or an EHR, can be considered the source data for the purposes of reconstructing and evaluating the safety and efficacy of a clinical trial.
Why eSource: The Advantages of Abandoning Paper Records
The justification for designing eSource trials is in the advantages they provide in reliability across most human tasks that interface with a clinical trial database. In short, eSource as a strategy eliminates a broad spectrum of potential transcription errors in addition to fully leveraging the supporting eClinical technology to provide reliable consistent exchange of information.
The Challenges with eSource
Our previous post illustrated some of the most significant benefits to operational effectiveness and efficiency in clinical trials by implementing eSource practices. These advantages speak for themselves.
