Abstract
The invention generally relates to computer-based systems to evaluate and market clinical trial research centers. In certain aspects, the invention provides computer-based systems to collect information about clinical research centers. Systems include a tangible, non-transitory memory coupled to a processor operable to retrieve, based on a user's input, an identity of a clinical research center and prompt the user for information relating generally to the center. The system can collect disease-specific information by prompting the user for a selection of a disease and then collecting from the user information identifying an ability of the center to perform one or more tests relating to the disease.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- receiving information on clinical trial assets from one or more data sources;
- matching a portion of the information on the clinical trial assets with at least one user query;
- filtering the clinical trial assets in N-dimensional space according to one or more user criteria to identify an N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets;
- representing the identified N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets as one or more display elements;
- identifying an outlying display element by determining a centroid of a cluster of the one or more display elements and a distance between the outlying display element and the centroid;
- and
- modifying a visual aspect associated with the outlying display element to indicate at least one dimension of the outlying display element in the n-dimensional space has been reduced, wherein modifying the visual aspect comprises reducing the distance between the outlying display element and the centroid.
A computer program product comprising a tangible storage medium encoded with processor-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, enable the computer program product to:
- receive information on clinical trial assets from one or more data sources;
- match a portion of the information on the clinical trial assets with at least one user query;
- filter the clinical trial assets in N-dimensional space according to one or more user criteria to identify an N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets;
- represent each of the identified N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets as one or more display elements;
- identify an outlying display element by determining a centroid of a cluster of the one or more display elements and a distance between the outlying display element and the centroid;
- and
- modify a visual aspect associated with the outlying display element to indicate at least one dimension of the outlying display element in the n-dimensional space has been reduced, wherein modify the visual aspect comprises reducing the distance between the outlying display element and the centroid.
A computer system connected to a network, the system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive information on clinical trial assets from one or more data sources;
- match a portion of the information on the clinical trial assets with at least one user query;
- filter the clinical trial assets in N-dimensional space according to one or more user criteria to identify an N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets;
- represent each of the identified N-dimensional cluster of clinical trial assets as one or more display elements;
- identify an outlying display element by determining a centroid of a cluster of the one or more display elements and a distance between the outlying display element and the centroid;
- and
- modify a visual aspect associated with the outlying display element to indicate at least one dimension of the outlying display element in the n-dimensional space has been reduced, wherein modify the visual aspect comprises reducing the distance between the outlying display element and the centroid.
