Good news for the research community: eTIC+ has officially launched. The innovative digital tool was developed to make the creation of study documents easier and more structured than ever before.
Members of the NUM Study Network have been involved in developing the predecessor tool eTIC into eTIC+. As part of the planned study portal - intended as a kind of app store for research tools - eTIC+ will in future be a central resource for researchers conducting their clinical studies via the NUM Study Network.
What is eTIC+?
eTIC+ is a smart digital tool to support medical and health science research. It guides researchers through the entire process of creating study documents, from initial planning to the final report. Typical documents created with eTIC+ include study protocols, application documents for ethics committees and registry reports.
Who is eTIC+ for?
eTIC+ is aimed at anyone involved in the planning and execution of clinical trials, regardless of their level of experience. For example:
- Researchers
- study directors
- Doctors involved in clinical research
- Employees in study centres and research groups
How does eTIC+ work?
At the centre of eTIC+ is a central data set. Based on this standardised source of information, the tool creates all required application documents in a complete, consistent and formally correct manner. All documents comply with the official requirements of the Association of Medical Ethics Committees in Germany (AKEK).
Who is behind eTIC+?
eTIC+ is a project of the Technical University of Munich, developed in collaboration with the AKEK. The project is funded as part of the NUM Study Network of the Network of University Medicine (NUM).
