Abstract: Disclosed is a method for generating a medical trial conclusion with respect to at least some participants in a medical trial, where medical trial data of the trial participants has been collected and the medical trial data collected comprises a data set pertaining to a first type of participant medical impact. The method comprises computer implemented analysis of the collected medical trial data of the medical trial participants. The analysis is to identify a first participant medical impact group by performing statistical clustering analysis for the medical trial participants. The statistical clustering analysis is in terms of participant medical impact as determined in accordance with the data set pertaining to the first type of participant medical impact. The first participant medical impact group corresponds to a statistical cluster so determined. The method further comprises generating a medical trial conclusion comprising an indication of the first participant medical impact group.

Abstract: A centralized location system includes a location update application programming interface (API) to receive varying types of location inputs for a user from at least one location-providing application. A memory stores a location of the user and the location inputs, wherein the location update API periodically updates in the memory the location inputs when location updates are received from the at least one location-providing application. A location export API, upon request from a location-based service application, processes the location inputs to estimate a location of the user, which location estimate replaces the stored location in memory and is sent to the location-based service application. A user interface enables the user to specify a location granularity for at least one of the at least one location-providing application and the location-based service application.
