Medical analysis system

A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution by a processor, the non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising:

• instructions for obtaining a set of data to be analyzed;
• instructions for retrieving a flow definition data object defining a first state, a second state, and a transition from the first state to the second state, wherein the transition identifies a data analysis tool;
• instructions for determining that the transition is to be applied;
• and
• instructions for invoking the data analysis tool to operate on the set of data.

An device for performing data analysis, the device comprising:

• a memory and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to:
• obtain a set of data to be analyzed;
• retrieve a flow definition data object defining a first state, a second state, and a transition from the first state to the second state, wherein the transition identifies a data analysis tool;
• determine that the transition is to be applied;
• and
• invoke the data analysis tool to operate on the set of data.
