A study is easily designed by dragging questions out of the extensive library of validated study questions, and dropping them into your study materials. You can instantly see what the materials (paper forms, computer databases, study manuals and protocols) which will actually be used to collect the study information will look like.
An experienced user can design a study in a day. However, as study design is a process of continuous refinement we expect most users to spend a few weeks on and off building the first version of their study, returning every month or two to incorporate feedback and refinements suggested by the study users. Only StudyBuilder makes this practical.
Once the study design is complete, pressing the ‘build study’ button automatically builds all the study materials: paper forms, computer databases, study manuals and protocols. If the study is to be deployed in several countries, the software uses professionally validated translations to produce the materials in the appropriate languages. Currently, more than 80 languages are supported.
