Device-agnostic ePRO that is BYOD (bring your own device) with email/SMS reminders, patient portals, and unified reporting across EDC and eDiaries
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / DATATRAK Powered by Fountayn, a unified eClinical and decentralized clinical trial (DCT) platform, today announced the availability of its enhanced electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) and eCOA solution, designed to help sponsors, CROs, and sites collect high-quality patient data for hybrid and decentralized clinical trials. Built on DATATRAK's core eClinical platform, the ePRO module can be deployed as a standalone solution or tightly integrated with the DATATRAK EDC to support end-to-end digital trials.??
DATATRAK ePRO is a device-agnostic, true BYOD solution that allows patients to use their own smartphones, tablets, or computers, reducing study costs and barriers to participation. Study teams can configure eDiaries and electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA) using the same eCRF design toolkit they rely on for EDC casebooks, enabling faster start-up and consistent design across all data capture tools.?
"Our customers want ePRO that is flexible, affordable, and fully connected to their EDC - not another silo," said Alex Tabatabai, CEO, DATATRAK Powered by Fountayn. "With DATATRAK ePRO, sponsors and CROs can design and launch eDiaries and eCOA quickly, send automated email and SMS reminders, and analyze compliance alongside EDC casebook data, all within a single, unified platform."?
Standalone ePRO or Fully Integrated with EDC
DATATRAK's ePRO solution is built on the same core platform as its EDC, RTSM, CTMS, eTMF, and eConsent tools. Customers can:?
Use ePRO as a standalone product and integrate with third-party EDC or clinical trial systems, or
Add ePRO as a native extension of the DATATRAK EDC to create a unified environment for data capture, randomization, and trial operations.??
Sites can invite and enroll ePRO participants directly from the EDC, link patient-reported outcome data to subject records, and trigger one-time notifications from within the EDC workflow. This tight integration helps reduce manual reconciliation and improves data quality across the study lifecycle.?
Patient Engagement Through Email/SMS and Secure Portal
To support patient engagement and compliance, DATATRAK ePRO includes:?
Email and SMS notifications to remind participants when eDiary or eCOA entries are due
A patient portal with secure PIN sign-in so participants can easily access their tasks and forms
Configurable one-time notifications sent from the EDC to specific participants or cohorts
These communication tools help improve completion rates and provide sites with better visibility into participant status in real time.??
Unified Reporting Across eDiaries and EDC
Flexible reporting tools span both EDC casebooks and eDiaries, enabling study teams to build compliance and performance reports that incorporate patient-reported outcomes alongside other clinical data. This unified view supports better decision-making, early signal detection, and streamlined preparation for data reviews and regulatory inspections.?
With databases hosted in key regions including the United States, Japan, and Europe -and options for additional local data hosting-DATATRAK Powered by Fountayn supports global studies while aligning with regional data privacy and security requirements.??
