Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electronic data acquisition systems, and specifically relates to an electronic data acquisition system with freely configurable functions. Background Technology

[0002] An EDC (Electronic Data Capture System) is a platform software specifically designed for the collection and transmission of clinical trial data. With technological advancements, more and more data management functions are being incorporated into EDC systems. Mainstream EDC systems not only offer various data collection methods but also robust data verification capabilities. Furthermore, they include excellent user communication solutions, enabling effective communication among users within the same project regarding the data collected. Due to its significant advantages, the EDC system has replaced traditional paper-based case report forms for collecting clinical trial data.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the Chinese Patent Publication No. 202110869043.3, disclose a data entry method and EDC system based on electronic logs in an EDC system, including the following steps: S1. Upon receiving an electronic log request from the subject's end, query whether the electronic log function is enabled for the corresponding subject's project. If so, proceed to step S2; S2. Query the folder / check item with the log function enabled in the corresponding project, and return the corresponding data entry page to the subject's end based on the query results; S3. Associate the data entered by the subject with the corresponding data point in the experimental database to complete the entry of the corresponding data point. Subjects can register by scanning a QR code associated with their subject ID, which allows them to associate their subject's end with their subject ID at the same time as registration. When entering data, they directly target their own database, which has advantages such as high efficiency and convenience. At the same time, it only accepts registrations from subject users, which can reduce system pressure and prevent unauthorized registrations. However, in the process of using the existing technology, the inventors found that the existing technology has at least the following problems:

[0004] The plugins designed in the aforementioned existing technologies are all pre-installed at the factory, making it difficult to insert new plugins during subsequent use. Furthermore, the existing EDC system does not have a complete set of functional modules, which makes it difficult for the EDC system to configure user-end functions. It is also difficult to locate data fields, collect data, perform statistical analysis, and export data, which in turn makes it impossible to collect and analyze certain key data. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application presents an electronic data acquisition system with freely configurable functions. This system moves the configuration of functional plugins to the front end, rather than placing them as underlying logic in the software backend, thereby enabling users to freely configure functional plugins.

[0006] An electronic data acquisition system with freely configurable functions includes a document editing module, a function configuration module, and a function locking module. The document editing module is used to establish a document editing interface and generate a CRF document. The function configuration module is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to embed function plugins into the CRF document and to configure electronic data acquisition functions for the CRF document. The function locking module is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to lock the CRF document and to perform data acquisition on the CRF document.

[0007] Preferably, the functional plugins include a date plugin, a drop-down menu plugin, and a formula calculation plugin;

[0008] The date plugin includes a clock selection component and a calendar selection component; the clock selection component and the calendar selection component are respectively communicatively connected to the document editing module; the clock selection component is used to insert clock data into the CRF document, and the calendar selection component is used to insert calendar data into the CRF document; through the above design, this application can insert clocks and calendars into CRF documents, and the selected clocks and calendars will directly appear in the final generated CRF document data, making it convenient for doctors or patients to promptly confirm the generation time of the CRF document;

[0009] The drop-down menu plugin includes a checkbox component, which is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to insert checkboxes into the CRF document. This allows doctors or patients to directly check one of multiple options in the CRF document, making it clearer and easier for users to read the data.

[0010] The formula calculation plugin includes a formula input component, which is communicatively connected to the document editing module. It is used to insert formulas into CRF documents, facilitating the integration and processing of some data and speeding up the internal processing of CRF documents.

[0011] Preferably, the functional plugin further includes a numbering plugin, which includes a numbering format setting component, a numbering rule setting component, and a numbering reference component;

[0012] The number format setting component, number rule setting component, and number reference component are interconnected and communicate with each other.

[0013] The numbering rule setting component and the numbering format setting component are communicatively connected and used to set numbering rules; the numbering format setting component sets the numbering format according to the numbering rules and generates numbering data.

[0014] The numbering reference component and the document editing module are connected in communication and are used to embed numbering data within the CRF document.

[0015] Preferably, the functional plugin further includes an export settings component, which is used to export data from the CRF document in order to obtain CRF data.

[0016] Preferably, the functional plug-in further includes an execution test component, which is used to perform operational tests on the electronic data acquisition system.

[0017] Preferably, the functional plugin further includes a role setting component, which is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to set the ownership attribute of the CRF document.

[0018] Preferably, the function locking module includes a data acquisition component, which is used to locate and lock the CRF document and export the CRF data.

[0019] Preferably, the function locking module further includes a role setting confirmation component, which is communicatively connected to the role setting component and is used to confirm role information.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0021] This application designs an electronic data acquisition system with freely configurable functions, including a document editing module, a function configuration module, and a function locking module. The document editing module is used to establish a document editing interface and generate a CRF document. The function configuration module is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to embed function plugins into the CRF document and configure electronic data acquisition functions for the CRF document. The function locking module is communicatively connected to the document editing module and is used to lock the CRF document and to perform data acquisition from the CRF document.
