The purpose of this project was to assist Mentis Cura, a digital diagnostic company, in the reimbursement process of their medical device used in dementia diagnostics, Sigla™. Our service involved developing a health economic model for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.
As with most medical devices, the quality and quantity of effect data are greatly limited. Therefore, the Norwegian authorities decided not to assess the effect of implementing Sigla on a national level. This led to the conclusion that the best approach for getting Sigla to the market was by directly approaching hospitals and other institutions that assessed patients suspected of dementia.
We developed a flexible model to be used in price negotiations, followed by a market report, and a technical report explaining the model. The model proved to be an extremely useful tool, enabling Mentis Cura to explore the monetary effect of implementing Sigla in multiple scenarios.
