Abstract: A system and method of assisting medical treatment decisions, are described. The method includes receiving unstructured data, including real world data, scientific document data, and expert knowledge data, corresponding to patient journeys. The method includes generating unstructured data from the structured data, including expert defined rules based on the expert knowledge data. The method includes determining treatment pattern data based on the structured data. The treatment pattern data can include treatment patterns used by a physician to treat a population, and may be transmitted for display at a client device to assist in making medical treatment decisions. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method of maintaining a user profile for a handheld computer in a shared, scalable computing resource is described. The method includes receiving user profile data from the handheld computer at the shared, scalable computing resource, the user profile data comprising a user security factor. The user profile data is received via a secure wireless communication protocol having authentication of an identity of the handheld computer. The method includes storing the user profile data on the shared, scalable computing resource as a portion of a user profile, the user profile further comprising user preference data. The method further includes receiving the user security factor from a second computing device. The user security factor is received via a secure wireless communication protocol having authentication of an identity of the second computing device. The method further includes downloading user preference data to the second computing device.

Abstract: A system and method of backing up a data file from a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method can include receiving a data file from the mobile computing device at a server computer and storing the data file on a storage device. The method can include receiving data indicative of changes made to the data file on the mobile computing device. The method can further include changing the data file stored on the storage device based on the data indicative of changes made to the data file on the mobile computing device.

Abstract: A mobile computing device comprises a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a remote server, a memory; and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured in a restore operation to receive first data from the remote server, to receive a source indicator for second data from the remote server, wherein the first data and second data represent data previously stored in the memory of the mobile computing device or in a memory of another mobile computing device, and to send a request for the second data based on the source indicator using the wireless transceiver.

Abstract: A cloud based data service provides a mobile device ability to define one or more sources of contact data and fetch a set of composite contacts populated in the cloud. The cloud based service automatically aggregates one or more “similar” contacts into a “composite” contact.

Abstract: Selecting a service for a mobile computing device includes receiving a message from the mobile computing device via a wireless network, storing data from the message, querying the data to identify a characteristic, selecting a service from a plurality of services based on the identified characteristic, and sending the selected service to the mobile computing device.
