Health Economics & Outcome Research

To bring real-world value to life sciences innovation, Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) plays a critical role. It bridges the gap between clinical trials and everyday patient care, helping stakeholders understand the true impact of new in complex, real-world settings.


At Polygon Health Analytics, we help you go beyond approval to demonstrate long-term value.

Why HEOR Matters in Today's Healthcare Landscape

HEOR is now a cornerstone for pharma, biotech, and healthcare organizations. It provides payers, providers, and patients with the evidence they need to make informed decisions about access, reimbursement, and clinical adoption.


While clinical trials answer "does it work?", HEOR answers

  • Is it worth it?
  • Does it improve quality of life compared to alternatives?
  • How does it perform in the real world?
