The goal of the presented application is to find a simple way how to randomly divide n patients into 2 groups 1 and 2. The main requirement is no dependency on target platform and the application must be available online for many different medical departments. Each department must have a unique login. No higher security level such as two-factor authentication is required. The results of the division into the groups represent a random choice of patients recommended to conventional and a new treatment without any preconditions and subjective factors. The study is focused on interdisciplinary connection between informatics and contemporary medicine. Due to these requirements was selected web implementation based on PHP and MySQL database. The core of the application is composed of using rand() function to generate pseudorandom numbers. This function is used in two steps. To generate unique random Patient ID according to the current time and the second function rand() is used to generate the group 1 or 2. The unique ID of the patient does not contain any personal data, it is only numerical ID. All results are stored into MySQL database to data analysis. Currently, no advanced security model is used. Each department has unique credentials with a number and a password. The implementation is based on HTML, PHP, MySQL and CSS with no dependencies on platform and web browser on client side. The reliability of the application was successfully tested in a pilot study in neurosonology for randomized trail control during internal carotid endarterectomy. There are some suggestions about improvement security level of login, dividing into more groups > 2 and statistical analysis displayed as a part of the web. Especially, could be pay attention to improvement parallel running and data processing for at least 10 departments. Dividing of n items into 2 or more groups has many different practical applications in general.
