1. SAVI – Sheffield Accelerated Value of Information

This web tool is an R Shiny Server application which can be used to calculate Expected Value of (Partial) Perfect Information for any cost-effectiveness model.  To use this tool, only a probabilistic sensitivity analysis sample is required.

2. RANE – Rapid Assessment of Need for Evidence

This is a web based Shiny app which can be used to calculate the value of further research without a full economic model. It requires only an expression of uncertainty in a primary outcome (e.g. odds ratio) and a small number of other inputs such as baseline risk, incident population, duration of research etc.

3. BCEAweb

This provides a web interface to the R package BCEA, designed to post-process the results of a statistical model and standardise health economic evaluations, as described in the following graph.

4. EVSI visualisation tools

This tool provides web applications for the visualisation of the EVSI

1. EVSI Example: The repository has four folders with R scripts that contain general functions for estimating EVSI using different methods.

2. EVSI-in-practice: A companion repository for the code to compare four recent EVSI calculation methods on three case studies that have been developed to reflect real-world characteristics of EVSI estimation.
