First Claim
1. A tangible computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a user interface configured to disseminate information regarding an adverse event that has occurred in a medical study, the user interface comprising:
- a toolbar having;
a first interface element structured and arranged to display at least one button associated with a first webpage in a first area of the toolbar in a first mode of the user interface and to not display the at least one button associated with the first webpage in a second mode of the user interface, the at least one button being selectable, in the first mode, by a user perceiving the user interface to inspire display of the first webpage; and
a second interface element structured and arranged to display a description of an adverse event that has occurred in a medical study, the second interface element being selectable by the user perceiving the user interface to inspire display of a second webpage including a detailed description of the adverse event that has occurred in the medical study, the second webpage being different that the first webpage, and the second interface element being structured and arranged to set the user interface to the first mode upon selection of the second interface element,wherein the second interface element has, in the second mode, a first size to display a description of a relatively serious adverse event in a second area on the toolbar that includes the first area, and has, in the first mode, a second size to display a description of a relatively insignificant adverse event in a third area on the toolbar that does not include the first area and is included in the second area, the first size being greater than the second size, andwherein the first interface element is not displayed during display of the description of the relatively serious adverse event, and wherein the first interface element is displayed after the second interface element is selected and the second webpage is displayed.

Abstract
Participants of a medical study are notified of and perceive information related to adverse events on a toolbar. The configuration of a toolbar may be different if a serious adverse event is being presented than if an insignificant adverse event is being presented. Serious adverse events include adverse events having severity greater than insignificant adverse events, having severity greater than a predetermined threshold, requiring hospitalization, and/or being life-threatening. Insignificant adverse events include adverse events that affect patients in an unexpected manner.

4. A computer-implemented method for disseminating, on a toolbar, information regarding an adverse event that has occurred in a medical study, the method comprising:
-
receiving an identifier of the medical study; identifying, based on the identifier of the medical study by at least one computer processor, participants of the medical study to whom information regarding the adverse event will be disseminated; receiving a description of a relatively insignificant adverse event that has occurred in the medical study; enabling presentation, to the participants of the medical study by at least one computer processor in a first mode, of a first interface element, the first interface element including the description of the relatively insignificant adverse event and that is selectable by a user to inspire display of a first webpage and a second interface element that includes at least one button that is selectable by a user to inspire display of a second webpage, the description of the relatively insignificant adverse event being presented in a first area of the toolbar in the first mode and the button being presented in a different second area of the toolbar; receiving a description of a relatively serious adverse event that has occurred in the medical study, wherein the severity of the relatively serious adverse event is greater relative to the severity of the insignificant adverse event, and wherein receiving the description of the relatively serious adverse event occurring in the medical study comprises; receiving an indication that the relatively serious adverse event is serious; receiving a notification message regarding the relatively serious adverse event to be presented to the participants of the medical study; and receiving a detailed description of the relatively serious adverse event to be presented to the participants of the medical study; setting the toolbar to a second mode in response to receiving the indication that the relatively serious adverse event is serious; enabling presentation, to the participants of the medical study by at least one computer processor in the second mode, of the first interface element, the first interface element including the description of the relatively serious adverse event, the first interface element being selectable by a user to inspire display of the first webpage and to set the toolbar to the first mode, and the first interface element being presented in a third area of the toolbar, the third area including the first area and the second area, requiring, in response to receiving the indication that the relatively serious adverse event is serious, that a particular participant of the medical study acknowledge their perception of the description of the adverse event; and receiving, from the particular participant of the medical study, an acknowledgement of their perception of the description of the relatively serious adverse event, wherein, after receiving the acknowledgement, the second interface element is displayed in the first area of the toolbar in the first mode. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
