Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use it for free?

Yes you can. The free option is perfect for researchers that are looking for a more organised approach to participant recruitment. The free option will allow researchers to list as many studies as they like, for as long as they need, and also allows collaborative recruitment. There is no obligation to upgrade to a premium plan, however, the premium plan will make more study management tools available which may be desirable to ensure that your study is efficiently run and well coordinated. See the pricing table for an indication to the differences between the plans.

What kind of research is it for?

The platform is built to provide support for most kinds of research studies that involve both human and non-human subjects. Studies that will get the most benefit from this system are those that include any of the following:

  • A moderate to large sample
  • Single or repeated measures
  • Quantitative data collection
  • Scheduled events
  • Collaboration (e.g., supervisor and student arrangement, study coordinators etc)

Some of the most common types of research that use WhiteCloud include:

  • Academic research (student and supervisor collaboration)
  • Medical research (e.g., hospital-based)
  • Clinical trials

Studies that are less likely to benefit from managed research may be those that involve a very small sample size, a simple design, and are conducted by a sole researcher. For all others, WhiteCloud will offer a significant improvement of adhoc study management practice.

Is it only for studies of human volunteers?

No. WhiteCloud supports two types of cases: “Participants” and “Subjects”. Participants are people that will have access to their MyParticipation portal, and will be able to engage with your study online (e.g., send and receive emails, receive automated and custom SMS messages, access schedule and complete data forms online). Subjects may be humans that are not actively engaged in the research (e.g., infants), or non-human subjects.

I'm not a researcher, can I sign up for studies?

Yes. Follow the link for Participants and register an account. Once you’ve entered your information you’ll start receiving notifications for new studies that match your profile.

What about ethics?

All studies that use the study listings feature are required to have received appropriate ethical approval prior to listing. It is ultimately the responsibility of the researchers to ensure that this is adhered to. Researchers should include use of WhiteCloud in their ethics applications and if relevant, participant information sheets.

Is this a CTMS

CTMS is an abbreviation for Clinical Trial Management System. While WhiteCloud isn’t branded as a CTMS, it can, in many ways, be considered a CTMS. WhiteCloud facilitates recruitment and study monitoring across a collaborative team, and offers advanced scheduling, communication and automation functionality that surpasses many enterprise CTMS systems, as a fractino of the price. While WhiteCloud is still in development, some features that are often found in CTMS systems that are not yet available here include file management, resource management and financials.

WhiteCloud does not provide support for managing sites or monitor visits.
