Sumario:BACKGROUND: The technological complexities and broad operational scope of eSource impede coordinated, inter-organizational action on advancing at-scale solutions. METHODS: We introduce an architectural framework for articulating technological considerations across organizations. The architecture neither implies nor endorses solution implementations; rather, it proposes solution functionality based upon principles and good clinical practices. RESULTS: Key technology considerations include patterns of anticipated use, implications to the current state of clinical trial operations, and the need for new technologies (i.e., IoT, Big Data, Predictive Analytics). CONCLUSION: Technology considerations drive implications beyond technology—influencing regulatory, process, and ethical realms of clinical research.
