CRF Designer Agent

H1ST-AI-DBD-001 · Task 1.1

Study build shouldn't swallow your timeline

The weeks you lose to form building — and the conformance risk baked in when they're rushed — don't have to define your build. The CRF Designer Agent generates Case Report Forms directly from the protocol, CDASH-compliant with edit checks and validation logic built in, cutting manual design effort by up to 70% while keeping downstream SDTM conformance clean from the start.

The grind you know

Study build shouldn't swallow your timeline

You know CRF design and edit-check programming are where the calendar disappears — weeks of painstaking form building and rule writing while everyone waits on the database. And you know the real cost isn't just time: one small conformance slip here quietly follows the data all the way to SDTM mapping and submission, where it's far more expensive to fix.

Part of the Database & Forms Design family

Protocol to CRF, ICF, SDTM & coding.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start from the protocol

    The structured protocol from Protocol Intelligence drives form generation.

  2. 2

    Generate forms + checks

    CDASH-compliant eCRFs, validation rules, and edit-check test cases are produced together.

  3. 3

    Review and refine

    Data managers review and adjust — in plain language via the Conversational Forms agent if desired.

Capabilities

What it takes off your plate

Protocol-to-CRF generation

Builds eCRFs from the structured protocol with support for multiple EDC platforms, stored in ODM-XML-compatible JSON/XML.

CDASH compliance

Maps every field to CDISC CDASHIG v2.1, so forms are conformant by construction and downstream SDTM mapping is clean.

Validation rule generator

Produces range checks, cross-field validations, and conditional logic from protocol requirements, with 50+ pre-configured rule types.

Edit-check test cases

Auto-generates test cases for edit checks so the build can be validated before go-live.

What you get

  • CDASH-compliant eCRF set (ODM-XML compatible)
  • Validation rules: range, cross-field, conditional logic
  • Edit-check test-case suite
  • Review interface for data managers to modify forms

In practice

What this looks like on a real study

Where the agent shows up in the day-to-day of a live trial — the moments the grind usually lives in.

The database is holding up the whole team

Enrollment is ready to go but everyone is waiting on the database while forms get built by hand. Starting from the structured protocol, the agent generates the CDASH-compliant eCRF set with validation logic in place, so the build stops being the bottleneck.

A range check nobody remembered to write

You know the manual builds where a systolic BP field ships with no plausible-range check and lets a 999 through. The validation-rule generator derives range, cross-field, and conditional checks from the protocol using 50+ pre-configured rule types, so the guardrails are there by construction.

Proving the build before go-live

Before you unlock the study you need evidence the edit checks actually fire. The agent auto-generates a test-case suite for the edit checks, so you validate the build against real scenarios rather than discovering a broken check once live data is flowing.

Peace of mind

Built to the standards inspectors expect

Every output is generated inside a validated, audit-ready platform, kept under human-in-the-loop control, and mapped to the regulatory and CDISC standards this agent supports.
