Abstract

A system, method, computer program product, and carrier are described for obtaining an indication of an activity status change of an application program and causing a movement of data distillation code relating to physiology-indicative data in response to the indication of the activity status change of the application program; or for obtaining (a) first clinical data acceptable to a clinical analysis module and (b) a pointer to the clinical analysis module, configuring one or more applications using the pointer to the clinical analysis module after receiving at least the first clinical data acceptable to the clinical analysis module, and using second clinical data acceptable to the clinical analysis module with at least one of the one or more applications configured using the pointer to the clinical analysis module after receiving at least the first clinical data acceptable to the clinical analysis module.
