## About

Open Data Capture is a web-based platform designed for continuous clinical data collection. The platform is centered on the [concept of an instrument](https://opendatacapture.org/en/docs/concepts/instruments/). Broadly defined, an instrument refers to any tool that can be used to collect data (e.g., forms, interactive tasks).

## Features

- **Built with TypeScript and modern frameworks** for robustness and scalability 🚀

- **Natively multilingual** for global accessibility 🇬🇧🇫🇷

- **Intuitive interface** for clinicians to conduct in-person assessments 🏥

- **External gateway service** for patients to self-administer remote assignments 🏠

- **Flexible instrument build system** implemented [directly in the browser](https://playground.opendatacapture.org/) via WebAssembly ⚡

  - Declarative form creation with a JSON-like syntax for accessibility ✨

  - Custom instrument runtime with dynamic imports and native ES modules for experienced users 🔥

- **Secure by default** with JWT authentication and granular permission controls 🔐

- **Beautiful data visualization** 📈

- **On-demand data export** for research integration 🔬

## Demo

Try out Open Data Capture without installation at [demo.opendatacapture.org](https://demo.opendatacapture.org). This demo includes a number of publicly-available instruments along with several months of simulated data. To access the platform, please select a user from the options below:

| Username          | Group(s)                                | Role           |

| ----------------- | --------------------------------------- | -------------- |

| JaneDoe           | Depression Clinic, Psychosis Lab        | Group Manager  |

| JohnSmith         | Depression Clinic                       | Group Manager  |

| FrançoisBouchard  | Psychosis Lab                           | Standard       |

> **Note:** All data in the demo instance is fake and generated for testing purposes only.

## Quick Start

Assuming that Docker and Docker Compose are already installed on your system, you can deploy an instance of Open Data Capture using the following command:

```sh

./scripts/generate-env.sh && docker compose up -d

```

By default, the application will run on port 5500. So, navigate to `http://localhost:5500` in your browser and you should be greeted with the setup screen. After getting started, we highly recommend reading our [deployment guide](http://opendatacapture.org/en/docs/tutorials/deployment/) for additional information on how to configure Open Data Capture to best meet the needs of your organization.
