David Eddy, M.D., Ph.D., is a long-standing pioneer in the theory and application of evidence-based medicine and mathematical modeling in healthcare. Dr. Eddy is co-creator of the Archimedes Model –a clinically realistic, trial-validated mathematical model of human physiology, diseases, interventions, and healthcare systems.

At the Model's core are hundreds of ordinary and differential equations that represent human physiology and the effects of diseases. The Model also includes detailed aspects of healthcare systems to analyze downstream clinical events, utilization, and costs.

The Model is used to predict the long-term health and economic effect of changes in the healthcare system, such as new treatments, tests, and changes in the associated medical guidelines, processes and practice patterns. It is also used by clinical and administrative decision makers as a clinical management tool for forecasting, guideline design, cost and comparative-effectiveness analysis, and priority setting.

In this webinar Dr Eddy will explain:

  • How the Model is formulated
  • How physiology is modeled
  • How patient behavior is modeled
  • Sources and methods for deriving equations
  • How utilization and costs are calculated
  • How the Model is validated
