Funding Amount
$409,199.00
Summary
This proposal brings together an international multi-disciplinary team to develop and validate a health economic computer simulation model for type 1 diabetes and its complications. It examines the impact of diabetes on costs as well as quality of life. Outcomes generated by the model will inform health policy decisions regarding allocation of resources for people with type 1 diabetes such as cost-effectiveness analysis of new treatments and technologies.
Development And Validation Of A Health Policy Simulation Model For Cardiovascular Disease
Funder

Funding Amount
$507,910.00
Summary
The research is focused on evaluating policies associated with treating cardiovascular disease in Australia (CVD). It will involve the development of a computer simulation model for CVD which can be used to assess the cost-effectiveness of wide range of health care treatments. As prices of cardiovascular therapies after the expiry of patents, how much more widely should cardiovascular medication be prescribed? This is the type of question that can be answered through a CVD simulation model.
