Economic evaluation
Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses with explicit comparators, perspective and time horizons.
HEALTH ECONOMICS · DECISION SCIENCE
Global Health Economics and Decision Science Observatory
Make health investment decisions explicit, testable and informed by evidence.
We develop economic evaluations and decision frameworks that connect clinical outcomes, costs and uncertainty. Models support transparent deliberation rather than replace clinical or policy judgment.
OUR SCIENTIFIC AGENDA
A connected programme of work.
Decision thresholds
Frameworks for willingness-to-pay calibration and net monetary benefit across settings.
Uncertainty & simulation
Probabilistic analysis, ICER stability and NMB/INMB to examine decision robustness.
Know the collaboration before you join.
Protocols, participating institutions, roles, data rights, IP and economic arrangements are documented for each project and may require negotiation with investigators and stakeholders.

Manuscript preparation
Empirical instability of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio in probabilistic economic evaluation
This methodological study evaluates the empirical stability of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio relative to net monetary benefit under probabilistic uncertainty, examining which metric communicates decision uncertainty more reliably.

FOR CLINICIANS & SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATORS
Bring your expertise. Shape the next question.
Bring clinical context to economic models: relevant comparators, care pathways, resource use and outcomes that matter to patients.
Clinical expertise
Define meaningful questions, outcomes and interpretation.

PHILANTHROPY & PARTNERSHIP
Support the work. Expand what is possible.
Individuals, families, institutions and funders can make a one-time contribution or discuss recurring support. Contributions are separate from membership and preserve scientific independence.
From proposal to execution
Every new research project, case report, case series or innovation proposal requires written approval from the corresponding Observatory Executive Director or research group principal investigator. Admission or membership does not replace this approval.
- Submit the aim, methods, proposed team, data, resources and expected outputs to the responsible scientific authority.
- The scientific authority reviews and approves the proposal, documenting its scope and conditions.
- Once approved, the Executive Director or principal investigator notifies microscopIA to initiate execution of the approved project.
- microscopIA coordinates responsibilities, staff, budget, milestones and data/IP agreements. Activities begin with the required ethics, institutional and regulatory permissions in place.
If leadership is vacant, microscopIA coordinates proposal intake and review; execution awaits approval from a formally designated scientific authority.
Protocols and collaboration agreementsGOVERNMENTS, INSTITUTIONS & COMMUNITIES
Turn a health-system need into a programme of work.
Governments & policymakers
Work with microscopIA on access evaluation, capacity planning, economic analysis, evidence synthesis or programme evaluation. Agree the decision question, methods, data, deliverables and timetable.
