Overview. At the core of LCARS-C/M, widgets (e.g. text fields, date picker, checkboxes, etc.) are used to collect clinical data at the user interface. LCARS-C and -M generate the widgets for the user interface (both web- and PWA-interfaces) based on the widget definitions. These definitions are stored in the metadata. The metadata is created and modified by the user through the LCARS-C editor or imported from existing definitions using the LCARS-C widget library. The metadata and the clinical data collected through the user interface is stored in the clinical dataset and can be exported into different file formats.
