Turn REDCap research data into ready-to-use database views

Automatically builds the SQL views your research team needs to analyze REDCap data without writing them by hand.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Every time your REDCap project grows, someone has to hand-write a long SQL view to flatten the data into something a dashboard or statistics tool can actually read. With dozens or hundreds of fields, that's slow, error-prone work that falls on whoever knows SQL best.

Who it fits

Health researchers, data engineers, or analysts who pull REDCap data into PostgreSQL for reporting and analysis.

How it works

  1. Starts when you specify a REDCap project and view name
  2. Reads the project's field metadata directly from REDCap
  3. Detects each field's name, type, and format automatically
  4. Builds the full SQL statement needed to flatten the data into a readable view
  5. Creates the view in PostgreSQL, ready for dashboards or analysis
What you get

Database views ready the first time

You get the SQL views your research team needs to analyze REDCap data built automatically, ready for dashboards and reporting.

What you get

A ready-to-query PostgreSQL view of your REDCap project data, built without hand-written SQL.

What you need

A REDCap account with API access and a PostgreSQL database, plus the companion REDCap-to-PostgreSQL sync already in place.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
