Talk description:
Open Data Capture is an easy-to-use open-source web application designed for continuous clinical research data collection. The platform enables both remote and in-person assessments (interactive tasks and questionnaires) and results storage in a secure and standardized manner. The platform supports functionality such as tracking aggregate measures, filtering and visualizing data in graphical or tabular form, as well as exporting data collected for research purposes. This tool serves as the foundation for implementing measurement-based care at the Douglas Institute.
