How HTAnalyze supports your submission
Access strategy
Clinical and economic positioning;
Relevant comparators in the SUS;
Technical and regulatory risks.
Before any submission, we map the competitive landscape: what technologies are already incorporated into the SUS (Brazilian Public Health System), how your product differentiates itself clinically and economically, and what regulatory obstacles may arise throughout the process.
This analysis guides the entire dossier's construction, avoiding rework and strengthening the technical defense points from the outset.
Economic Evaluation
Cost-effectiveness, utility, and minimization models;
Budget impact analysis.
We build tailored economic models for the clinical landscape of technology, decision trees for targeted interventions, Markov models for chronic conditions, and partitioned survival models for oncology.
The results are accompanied by deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses, while the budgetary impact projects market share and technological diffusion over 5 years, based on real Brazilian epidemiology.
Clinical evidence
Systematic review and meta-analysis;
Comparative critical synthesis;
Rational Clinical Narrative.
We gathered and critically evaluated all available scientific literature on the technology and its comparators, identifying gaps, biases, and the robustness of the evidence.
The result is a structured clinical narrative, clear enough for lay members of the committee, yet rigorous enough to withstand technical questioning.
Dossier Development & Strategic Support
Complete preparation of the Conitec dossier;
Strategic support after submission.
We drafted the Main Document in its entirety, strictly following the template required by Conitec, from the technical description of the technology to the bibliographic references.
After submission, we continue to work alongside you: preparing responses to committee questions, analyzing contributions from the public consultation, and adjusting the dossier as needed until the final decision.
