SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE MANAGEMENT PROVIDING HISTORICAL DATA-BASED FORECASTING FOR CLINICAL TRIALS

摘要

A system and method for controlling a computerized device's display to provide a compact and informative graphical user interface providing historical data-based forecasting for clinical trial-related activities. The graphical user interface performs guided prompting for development of clinical trial plans on a per-study basis, historical data-based budgeting on a per-country basis, and budget negotiation on a per-supplier basis, to effectively form clinical trial agreements. Further, the system provides a high degree of flexibility and feedback to the user during these activities, including via graphical user interfaces providing mechanisms for accessing historical payment data and/or fair market value data derived therefrom, to allow for comparison and/or selection of countries/suppliers to be used in clinical trials and/or to negotiate clinical trial budgets based on actual historical payment data. The system thereby acts as a knowledge base for storing and displaying data relating to a single sponsor's and competing sponsors' past activities.
