We created U-titer, a new software for patient utility assessment. Early results show it matches traditional methods, aiding preference research.

Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Decision Analysis
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Assessing patient preferences and utilities is crucial for health economic evaluations and clinical decision-making.
  • Traditional methods for utility assessment can be time-consuming and lack standardization.
  • There is a need for efficient and flexible tools to measure patient utilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce U-titer, an automated, modular software package for utility assessment.
  • To describe the capabilities of U-titer in implementing various preference assessment methods.
  • To evaluate the initial performance and utility of the U-titer software.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modular software package, U-titer.
  • Implementation of multiple utility assessment methods: rating scale, category scaling, standard gamble, and time trade-off (chronic and temporary).

  • Inclusion of features for extensive method tailoring and process information recording.

    • Main Results:

    • U-titer successfully implements diverse utility assessment techniques with customizable options.
    • The software records user process information and allows module coordination.
    • Initial comparisons indicate U-titer assessments are comparable to traditional assessment methods.

    Conclusions:

    • U-titer provides an automated and flexible platform for patient utility assessment.
    • The software facilitates research into patient utilities and the methodologies used for their assessment.
    • U-titer has the potential to streamline preference assessment in health economics and clinical research.
