Health Economic Modeling

UBC scientists are experts in creating and customizing economic models and using data for analyses. Our experts develop models to simplify descriptions of complex medical processes and therapies. We build frameworks for analysis and evaluation to help clarify the economic impact of using a biopharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic technology, or procedure.

Our continuing efforts to meet the challenges faced by our clients has led us to explore innovative solutions to research problems, including introducing discrete event simulation (DES) to the health industry.

Our services include:

  • Application of sophisticated modeling techniques (e.g Monte Carlo simulation, bootstrapping, Bayesian analysis, and advanced modeling methods such as Discrete Event Simulation (DES))
  • Extension of findings: modeling to project trial to new scenarios
  • Study designs based on decision and simulation models
  • Go/No-Go models to project product value and feasibility

We develop health economics models to:

  • Understand the full implication of clinical trials
  • Generalize the outcomes of clinical trials
  • Demonstrate the value of a product beyond its efficacy
  • Assess pricing scenarios
  • Inform strategic planning and product development
  • Assess benefits and risk
