Abstract

See full text

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product is provided for selecting subjects for treatment study cohorts. A set of selected dimensions for optimizing selection of subjects for a treatment cohort group and a control cohort group associated with a treatment study is identified. Attribute data associated with subjects in the pool of available subjects is clustered at the atomic level to form clustered cohort data. A set of optimized subjects from a pool of available subjects is selected using the clustered cohort data and the set of selected dimensions. Subjects in the set of optimized subjects are optimized across the set of selected dimensions. Each subject in the set of optimized subjects is assigned to the treatment cohort group or the control cohort group.
