Gleam provides a browser extension solution for clinical trial sites to automate data transfer from eSource systems directly into Electronic Data Capture (EDC) CRFs. This tool eliminates manual data entry and copy-pasting, significantly accelerating the process of populating case report forms. The platform ensures data precision while allowing site staff to focus more on patient interaction and quality control tasks.

Problem
Clinical trial sites often allocate extensive manual effort to transcribe source data from eSource documents into Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems, which introduces transcription errors and limits staff time for patient‑focused activities.
Solution
Gleam delivers a browser‑based extension that extracts structured data from any eSource document and automatically populates the corresponding fields in any EDC platform. The tool operates directly within the web browser, eliminating the need for separate installations or custom integrations. Users open the source document, invoke Gleam to capture the data, review a validation screen, and then trigger an auto‑fill of the CRF with high precision. By removing repetitive copy‑paste steps, Gleam shortens data‑entry cycles, improves data integrity, and frees site personnel to concentrate on patient interaction and protocol execution. All data transfers are encrypted in transit and the extension maintains a tamper‑evident audit log to satisfy regulatory requirements. The service is delivered via a subscription model with automatic updates and support.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinical research site staff—clinical research associates, data managers, and site coordinators—who need efficient, accurate entry of source data into EDC systems.
