• In contrast to the electronically captured handwritten signature that is used to capture a graphic image of the signature, the default used for US Sites, the biometric option captures direction, stroke, speed and velocity attributes and is considered a reliable biometric indicator for writer identification. The features and functions necessary to deliver an efficient, state-of-the-art method for electronic consent are largely met with an out-of-the-box implementation of our product. Our global solution greatly facilitates the patient consent process, and provides significant benefits for CROs, clinical site staff, external monitors, sponsor staff and auditors.
