What is REDCap?
REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure web application that empowers users to rapidly build and manage online surveys and databases. The platform provides a streamlined process for project development, allowing users to create and design projects either through the intuitive Online Designer interface or by constructing a data dictionary template in Microsoft Excel, which can then be easily uploaded into REDCap. This versatile tool supports the creation of both surveys and databases, or a combination of the two, catering to a wide range of data collection needs
