Sponsors utilize eConsent to improve the process of obtaining informed consent from research participants. An electronic approach helps participants better understand study requirements by using more dynamic multimedia, and it helps sponsors ensure ICFs are always up-to-date, among numerous other benefits.

In order to address barriers to adoption of eConsent, a joint task force between EUCROF and eClinical Forum recently developed and published this eConsent implementation guide outlining practical considerations, stakeholder perspectives and more. The task force was co-chaired by Signant’s Mika Lindroos and Medidata’s Fiona Miani.
