PCR166 Online Elicitation of Personal Utility Functions (OPUF) – An Open, Modular Health Valuation Platform

Abstract

Commonly used preference elicitation methods, such as TTO or DCE, usually require data from hundreds of participants. Conducting health valuation studies thus becomes time and resource intensive, and eliciting preferences from patient, alongside HTA, for example, is often deemed infeasible altogether. This severely limits the availability of relevant (patient) preference information to decision makers. Here, we report on the current state of the Online elicitation of Personal Utility Function (OPUF) method; a new approach for valuing health and well-being.
