Abstract:

A system and method for evaluating one or more interventions having a direct or indirect impact on a disease identification or a disease progression incorporating a causal framework to establish relationships among the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method determines population groups and risk factors for the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method structures and calibrates a simulation model of the relationships, population groups, and risk factors and characterizes interventions. The system and method analyzes the characterized interventions to determine the direct or indirect impact of the interventions on the disease identification or progression using the simulation model. An indication of the impact of the interventions is provided on an electronic display or to a memory device.
