  • Hardian conducts health economic modelling for SaMD and AIaMD products building off well-established principles that have been used for decades in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries.

    Mathematical models incorporating decision tress, Markov scenario modelling and Bayesian reasoning can be combined to produce different types of models. At Hardian we focus on three types of model:



    Early models- to help guide clinical investigation planning
