A Mathematic Model of Human Disease?
By Staff Reporters
No, we don’t mean the classical scientist of antiquity. Rather, Archimedes is an independent healthcare modeling organization located in San Francisco. Their core technology – the Archimedes Model – is a mathematical model of human physiology, diseases, interventions and healthcare systems. The Model is reportedly detailed, rigorously validated and made available for use by health plans, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and other organizations to help understand and resolve vital clinical and administrative healthcare questions.
Founders
Archimedes was founded by industry veterans David Eddy MD PhD, and Len Schlessinger PhD.
Disease Entities
Currently the Model includes:
- Diabetes and complications
- Coronary artery disease
- Hypertension
- Congestive heart failure
- Stroke
- Dyslipidemia
- Obesity
- Metabolic syndrome
- Asthma
- Colon cancer
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
Other conditions are continuously being added.
Assessment
By using advanced methods of mathematics, computing, and data systems, the Model strives to enable managers, administrators, and policymakers to be better informed and to make smarter decisions than has previously been possible. So, give em’ a click and tell us what you think?
