A '''remote data entry''' ('''RDE''') system is a computerized system designed for the [[Data collection|collection of data]] in electronic format. The term is most commonly applied to a class of software used in the [[life sciences]] industry for collecting patient data from participants in [[clinical research]] studies—research of new drugs and/or medical devices.

Typically, RDE systems provide:
* a [[graphical user interface]] [[Software componentry|component]] for data entry
* a [[Data validation|validation]] component to check user data
* a reporting tool for analysis of the collected data

The development of RDE systems started in the mid- to late-1980s as software installed locally on [[Portable computer|portable computers]] with [[Modem|modems]]. It has largely been replaced by a newer generation of software called [[electronic data capture]], or EDC, that provides the same type of functionality over the Internet using web pages.
