This article presents a heterogeneous, open and configurable data recording device to facilitate the implementation of clinical trials. It includes an embedded system connected via USB to an Android device, and a database in the Cloud. Using an Android application, it is possible to configure each clinical trial according to the needs of the test protocol and the people involved in the study. This device ensures the recording and storage of data from both the various sensors used and the questionnaires. This original device was used during the implementation of the clinical trials for a powered wheelchair “Obstacle Alerting System”. This system will be mounted on the wheelchairs of the people participating in the clinical trials and used for 14 days in their real life environment.
