A cloud-based platform to improve cancer care costs and equity
Modex, a cloud-based, centralized health economic model marketplace to reduce costs and enhance equity in cancer
This study is working on a new online platform where people can easily find and share information about the costs and benefits of different cancer treatments, helping everyone make better choices about care and ensuring fair pricing for new therapies.

What this research studies
This research aims to create a centralized marketplace for health economic models related to cancer treatment, allowing for better decision-making regarding cost-effective care. By making these models openly accessible, the project seeks to enhance transparency and equity in pricing for new cancer therapies. The approach involves developing a decentralized platform where stakeholders can share and access health economic models, ultimately aiming to improve patient access to effective treatments. The project will also address concerns about intellectual property by providing incentives for model developers to contribute their work.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients diagnosed with cancer who are affected by the costs and accessibility of new therapies.
Not a fit: Patients with cancers that are not addressed by the economic models developed through this platform may not benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to reduced costs and improved access to cancer treatments for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been attempts at model sharing in health economics, this approach is innovative and aims to overcome previous limitations in the field.
