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.
