About ResearchGuru

ResearchGuru is a UK-based managed EDC service run by researchers. We build, host and support study-ready databases for clinical and observational research.

We started from a simple observation: most study teams know exactly what data they need and have nobody to build the database. ResearchGuru does that work, from the approved questionnaire/form to the final dataset, with people who understand study design on the other side of the conversation.

Who we are

The people behind ResearchGuru

When you send us a study, these are the people who read it.

Medy Ehtesham, MPH, PhD; Founder

Medy is an epidemiologist, and the author of peer-reviewed research in public health and regulatory science. He founded ResearchGuru to give study teams a managed EDC built by people who run studies themselves.

Christian Erikson, MD, PhD, Director

Christian is an associate professor and Business Drirector, bringing an academic researcher's view of study design and methods to the studies we support.

How we work

Four things you can expect from us

Researchers first

The person building your database understands why an item is there, not only how to program it.

One conversation

Specification, programming, testing and support stay with the same team, so questions are answered once.

Controls by design

Named accounts, an audit trail, change control and scheduled backups are part of every study, not an upgrade.

Plain answers

We say what the platform is designed to support and where your own procedures or specialists are still needed.

What we do

A managed service around our own EDC platform

ResearchGuru EDC is the platform; ResearchGuru is the team that configures and runs it for you. A study can use as much or as little of it as the protocol needs.

Start with Services for the study types we support, Innovation for how the platform works, or the Demo page for three recorded walk-throughs. Topic pages cover the audit trail, tables, figures and listings, CDISC export and pricing.

A study can include

  • eCRF build from your approved documents
  • Staff-entered and participant-reported data
  • Edit checks, queries and an audit trail
  • Dashboards and built-in tables, figures and listings
  • Exports in Excel, CSV, R, Stata or CDISC formats
  • Hosting, backups and support for the life of the study
