Economics, simulation modelling & diabetes
Mt Hood Diabetes Challenge Network
Next conference:
Chicago, USA
23-25 June 2025
Draft Challenge Instructions now available
Moving beyond diabetes simulation models
Mt Hood 2025 will also feature challenge from disease modelers working outside of diabetes including simulation models to capture the impacts of smoking in the general population. We will work with groups of modelers to develop and undertake challenges similar to those that have been developed for diabetes and are looking a developing general guidelines to promote cross-validation of health economic models.
Overview
Mount Hood, Diabetes Challenge Network, is dedicated to promoting an exchange of ideas and information between those developing and using health economic diabetes simulation models.
The Mount Hood, Diabetes Challenge Network, has run a diabetes health economics and computer simulation modelling conference bi-annually since 1999. A major focal point of the conferences are comparisons of health economic diabetes models both in terms of their structure and performance. A write-up of a past conference can be found here. Information, including programs for all of the past conferences, can be found on the archive page.
The Network has also developed an extensive set of diabetes simulation modelling resources and guidelines for those developing or using simulation models.
The search site function on the left-hand side of the menu bar is a good way to find specific information.
