Electronic Informed Consent (eIC) Platform for Clinical Trials - An Operational Model and Suite of Tools for Consent Authoring, Obtaining Informed Consent, and Managing Consent Documents.

The informed consent process is the foundation of human research subject protection, and studies have shown that enhancing the consent experience with introductory videos and visual aids, can improve participant engagement and comprehension. With this in mind, the MSK eIC platform was developed to augment educational alternatives for research participants, reduce administrative time and effort associated with paper-based consenting, improve the IC audit trail, and streamline consent document authoring.
