A mechanism is provided for presenting contextually relevant patient data in relation to other patients in a graphical user interface. Using a medical condition associated with a patient and a current treatment being followed by the patient, a cohort of similar patients with the same medical condition are identified. For each of the patients in the cohort, a set of next treatments are identified for those patients that stopped the current treatment and followed a next treatment. For each next treatment followed by a patent in the cohort of similar patients, a determination is made as to whether the next treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition for the patient. Then a presentation is provided indicating the set of next treatments, a number of patients following each next treatment, whether each treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition, and a statistical significance.

An interface is provided for application sharing. An interface program facilitates application sharing by reducing it to a two step process hiding underlying details from a user. This interface program in cooperation with a conferencing program facilitates application sharing by enabling a user to select one or more files and one or more participants. Subsequently, this interface program automatically establishes application sharing. This interface program provides both an application list and a participant list to facilitate a user's selection thereof.
