Participants can register their interest in the study through a customized enrollment page, after which they receive an email prompting them to sign up in the Castor eConsent portal.  Alternatively, identified patients can be invited directly by the study team (through email) to sign up for eConsent.

Participant registration and eConsent access

When a participant has been added to the eConsent study, an email invitation will be sent to the participant to allow them to register and access the eConsent form. 

The participant will need to accept the Terms of Use and provide the following details when registering the account:

• First name
• Last name
• Email will be automatically pre-filled

After filling out the details and accepting the Terms of Use, the participant needs to click on the ‘Sign up’ button to complete the registration. 

Should the participant already have an account registered in eConsent they will be directed to the eConsent login page where they can log in with their eConsent credentials.

During login and signup, participants will be able to select their preferred language for the interface.
