EPIQuest: A multiuser and multiproject web tool to build online forms for biomedical studies

Abstract

The growth, both in size and complexity, of current biomedical studies requires semi-automated and user-friendly computer tools to facilitate electronic data capture and reporting. However, existing tools are expensive (researchers areńt able to pay for them) or they are too specifically developed that they cannot be extended to other applications. EPIQuest, an academic-research environment developed tool, overcome these limitations. EPIQuest is a multiuser web-based form building tool, with the capacity to manage multiple studies, each with multiple and multi-language questionnaires.
