Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

For clinical trial units, NHS trusts, academic institutions and other research teams, eClinical combines paper case-report forms with electronic CRFs. Its designers cover CRFs, surveys and questionnaires, while collection can span paper, web, email and fax. Browser-based PDF and HTML eCRFs extend the electronic side. The mix is aimed at teams that need to accommodate paper alongside online capture, rather than standardize every study on electronic forms alone.

The standout capability is the breadth of recognition within a hybrid workflow: OCR, ICR, OMR, barcode and signature recognition support paper processing, while configurable validation rules, mandatory fields and range checks help structure captured data. Audit trails, access control, version tracking and electronic signatures address oversight, and electronic archiving and retrieval include retention policies. The listed compliance specifications include ICH GCP E6 R2, 21 CFR Part 11 and Clinical Trials Regulations. These features make the product relevant where document processing and traceable records matter together.

According to the vendor's published price information, the Single user version is a £10,380 one-time package. It includes TeleForm Desktop, a mid-volume scanner, on-site installation and configuration, on-site user training and handover, plus one year of technical support and maintenance. Exports cover TMF, CTMS, Excel, CSV, XML, SQL and SPSS. That mix suits organizations wanting an installed scanning and processing package with setup and initial support included. Teams seeking an offering centered on modern trial integrations or a recurring subscription structure should compare alternatives; eClinical's listed package emphasizes hybrid capture and document handling.
