Method and System for Matching Providers in the Medical and Pharmaceutical Field

A system for matching a first provider with a second provider, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer instructions;
• and
• a computer configured to execute said computer instructions for:
• registering contact data of the first provider and the second provider;
• receiving, from the first provider, at least one first type indicator, at least one first location indicator, at least one first field indicator, at least one first category indicator, and at least one first sub-category indicator, wherein the first type indicator, first location indicator, first field indicator, first category indicator, and first sub-category indicator characterize the first provider;
• receiving, from the second provider, at least one second type indicator, at least one second location indicator, at least one second field indicator, at least one second category indicator, and at least second sub-category indicator, wherein the second type indicator, second location indicator, second field indicator, second category indicator, and second sub-category indicator characterize the second provider;
• receiving, from the first provider, at least one of a third type indicator, third location indicator, third field indicator, third category indicator, and third sub-category indicator, wherein the at least one of the third category indicator, third location indicator, third field indicator, third category indicator, and third sub-category indicator characterizes an envisaged provider different from the first provider;
• storing the received first, second, and third type indicators, first, second, and third location indicators, first, second, and third field indicators, first, second, and third category indicators, the first, second, and third sub-category indicators;
• and
• comparing the received second and third type indicators with each other, the received second and third location indicators with each other, the received second and third field indicators with each other, and the received second and third category indicators with each other, and if a match of at least one specific one of the received second and third type indicators, at least one specific one of the received second and third location indicators, at least one specific one of the received second and third field indicators, and at least one specific one of the received second and third category indicators is found, then:
• generating a first message indicating the match, and including contact data of the second provider;
• sending the first message to the first provider;
• generating a second message indicating the match, and including contact data of the first provider;
• sending the second message to the second provider;
• and
• storing matching information including the at least one specific one of the received second and third type indicators, the at least one specific one of the received second and third location indicators, the at least one specific one of the received second and third field indicators, and the at least one specific one of the received second and third category indicators.

A non-volatile data carrier product storing computer instructions for a computer to execute said computer instructions for matching a first provider with a second provider by:

• registering contact data of the first provider and the second provider;
• receiving, from the first provider, at least one first type indicator, at least one first location indicator, at least one first field indicator, at least one first category indicator, and at least one first sub-category indicator, wherein the first type indicator, first location indicator, first field indicator, first category indicator, and first sub-category indicator characterize the first provider;
• receiving, from the second provider, at least one second type indicator, at least one second location indicator, at least one second field indicator, at least one second category indicator, and at least second sub-category indicator, wherein the second type indicator, second location indicator, second field indicator, second category indicator, and second sub-category indicator characterize the second provider;
• receiving, from the first provider, at least one of a third type indicator, third location indicator, third field indicator, third category indicator, and third sub-category indicator, wherein the at least one of the third category indicator, third location indicator, third field indicator, third category indicator, and third sub-category indicator characterize an envisaged provider different from the first provider;
• storing the received first, second, and third type indicators, first, second, and third location indicators, first, second, and third field indicators, first, second, and third category indicators, the first, second, and third sub-category indicators;
• and
• comparing the received second and third type indicators with each other, the received second and third location indicators with each other, the received second and third field indicators with each other, and the received second and third category indicators with each other, and if a match of at least one specific one of the received second and third type indicators, at least one specific one of the received second and third location indicators, at least one specific one of the received second and third field indicators, and at least one specific one of the received second and third category indicators is found, then:
• generating a first message indicating the match, and including contact data of the second provider;
• sending the first message to the first provider;
• generating a second message indicating the match, and including contact data of the first provider;
• sending the second message to the second provider;
• and
• storing matching information including the at least one specific one of the received second and third type indicators, the at least one specific one of the received second and third location indicators, the at least one specific one of the received second and third field indicators, and the at least one specific one of the received second and third category indicators.
