Healthcare and public health
Use cases
- Health system capacity planning
- Epidemiological scenario modeling
- Health economics and cost-effectiveness analysis
- Pharmaceutical policy and drug pricing
- Disease burden estimation.
Where River helps
- Health models answer "what will happen if..." questions (preventative measures, vaccination rollout, resource allocation)
- Many input parameters are quantified by research to set a realistic range.
- They combine with decision models as they frequently help decide on critical investments, e.g. build new hospitals.
- Results must be explainable to non-technical policymakers and auditable by peer reviewers.
