Evaluation themes

We use robust qualitative, statistical and health economic methods to support the development and evaluation of new medical tests.

Our main areas of expertise are care pathway analysis, early economic modelling and clinical study design.

We help developers identify for their test: the best role(s); the most effective setting; and the costs associated with development, production and use.

This improves the product’s characteristics and increases the likelihood that the tests will be used by patients and the NHS.

Evidence development for medical tests

We provide independent expertise to test developers. We help them generate supporting evidence when they are bringing their new tests to the UK healthcare market.

Care pathway analysis to identify the value proposition

We have expertise in care pathway analysis. We use this technique to help developers identify and assess the potential benefits of their new tests to patients and the NHS.

Measuring the accuracy of tests

We offer statistical expertise. We can help with the design and analysis of clinical studies that evaluate the accuracy of their new tests in real world care settings.

Diagnostic web applications

We specialise in developing interactive web based teaching tools to assist diagnostic test developers.
