Fabio Alburquerque Thiers has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20130151277
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20130151276
    Abstract: The invention uses a database of clinical research centers to allow a trial planner to view profiles of those centers to pre-qualify centers for inclusion in a prospective clinical trial. Systems and methods of the invention operate to display clinical research capacity by using a computer system for receiving, from a trial planner, a subject disease and a selection of a research center and retrieving a plurality of clinical capacities that are associated with the subject disease for the research center. A profile of the research center that includes the plurality of clinical capacities associated with the subject disease is rendered.

  • Publication number: 20130151275
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods that allow a trial planner to visualize clinical capacity available in different geographic locations in the form of icons arranged according to geography. In certain aspects, the invention provides a display including icons depicting research capacity in a plurality of geographical areas. Each icon has an aspect that depicts an aggregate capacity of a plurality of research centers that are located in the geographical region. The capacity can relate to available patient population, clinical capabilities, or local environment, and is queryable by disease. Preferably, only anonymous, aggregate statistical patient population data is included.
