SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER ANALYTICS
The invention generally relates to computer-based systems for evaluating and marketing clinical trial research centers. In certain aspects, the invention provides computer-based systems for collecting 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.
1 . A system for compiling a list of clinical trial credentials, the system comprising a tangible, non-transitory memory coupled to a processor, the processor operable to:
retrieve over a communications network a plurality of items, each item indicating a competency to perform a clinical trial;
execute computer program instructions to identify an investigator name within the items and a title;
compose, for the investigator name, a list of associated titles and save the list in the memory;
provide the list for access by the investigator.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the items are publications.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the items are clinical trials.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of items are retrieved from an online library database.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of items are retrieved from a database of clinical trials.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying the investigator name involves the use of regular expressions.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising allowing the investigator to edit the list and subsequently displaying the list on a profile web page.
8 . A method for compiling a list of clinical trial credentials, the method comprising using a tangible, non-transitory memory coupled to a processor to perform the steps of:
retrieving over a communications network a plurality of items, each item indicating a competency to perform a clinical trial;
executing computer program instructions to identify an investigator name within the items and a title;
composing, for the investigator name, a list of associated titles and save the list in the memory;
providing the list for access by the investigator.
