Governed research data and participant workflows from protocol to analysis

Metricis unifies electronic data capture, eConsent, cognitive and ePRO assessments, device data, mobile and offline participant workflows, data quality, and standards-based analysis—with REDCap interoperability.

Metricis researcher portal dashboard, showing study management, registries, and the module library

Researcher portal — studies, registries, governed data capture, and reusable research modules.

Why Metricis

Research teams often assemble protocols, forms, consent, participant tasks, cognitive assessments, device feeds, monitoring, and analysis in separate systems. Every handoff introduces duplicated configuration, uncertain provenance, and another place for study operations to drift.

Metricis connects those workflows from protocol to analysis. Versioned configuration, explicit review, participant delivery, quality controls, and export provenance stay linked while people retain authority over every consequential transition.

What Metricis does

One governed platform for research teams, participants, data managers, and analysts.

Studies and longitudinal registries

Study and registry workspaces, participants, cohorts, schedules, sites, arms, and lifecycle workflows.

Governed electronic data capture

FormSpec authoring, versioned releases, edit checks, queries, SDV, signatures, locks, and audit history.

Participant and caregiver delivery

Magic-link access, onboarding, tasks, diaries, consent, schedules, accessibility, and offline-capable capture.

Cognitive assessment and ePRO

jsPsych task batteries, patient-reported outcomes, recurring check-ins, scoring, and version-pinned delivery.

REDCap interoperability

REDCap-managed studies, event and field mapping, DET webhooks, retryable sync, and no-fallback safety controls.

Data quality and monitoring

Validation, missing-data review, query workflows, risk-based SDV, change classification, and audit reconstruction.

See the capability status page for availability and deployment requirements.

Compliance & trust

Designed for the regulatory and institutional review your study has to pass.

Metricis provides technical controls. Each sponsor or operator remains responsible for study-specific validation, procedures, training, and deployment compliance.

Part 11 workflow controls: Electronic records, signatures, reason-for-change capture, audit history, and role-gated state transitions support validated workflows.
ICH E6(R3)-aligned operations: Coordinator review, risk-based source data verification, query and reconciliation workflows, signatures, and data lock.
Privacy-aware deployment: Service-layer authorization, purpose-based consent enforcement, log redaction, and encrypted credentials support institutional privacy controls.
Audit integrity: Security-relevant and regulated transitions are recorded with actor, timestamp, provenance, and tamper-evident verification controls.
Open source: MIT licensed; full source available for institutional security and compliance review.
University of Alberta: Built and maintained at the University of Alberta — institutional academic stewardship.
