Whether you’re conducting probabilistic analyses or determining cost-effectiveness, Markov model software delivers the insights needed to make data-driven decisions. TreeAge Pro is the premier Markov Modeling Software for Health Economics. Build Markov models quickly and easily with TreeAge Pro’s visual modeling framework.
Why Choose Our Markov Model Software?
Advanced Markov model software simplifies the process of modeling state transitions and evaluating time-dependent variables. These tools are essential for industries requiring precise long-term planning and detailed evaluations. TreeAge Pro makes it easy to build Markov models – also known as a Markov chain models and state transition models. Our Markov software includes a visual editor allows you to create a Markov tree diagram with patient pathways to model disease progression over time. A simple, straightforward structure representing one cycle is automatically stretched out to a lifetime model.
- Use powerful decision analysis tools to assess complex scenarios with confidence.
- Build dynamic models with decision tree software to enhance analytical capabilities.
- Apply partitioned survival analysis to understand patient outcomes and optimize healthcare strategies.
- Accurately compare alternatives using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for cost-effective decision-making.
With its adaptability and precision, Markov model software empowers professionals to address challenges and achieve reliable results across various sectors in four easy steps:
Add health states and events: Add health states within the TreeAge Pro Markov framework directly to the right of the Markov node. Add events to the right of each health state to create patient pathways for each Markov cycle. Each patient pathway automatically ends with a referral back to a health state to start the next Markov cycle.
Enter event probabilities: Enter event probabilities directly under each event within the Markov framework. The probabilities can change over time. As patients experience the events over time, the overall cohort is split among the states and events differently as time passes. In a Markov Simulation Model, you can vary probabilities based on individual patient characteristics and/or patient history.
Enter costs and utilities: Add costs and/or utilities at any health state or event. The costs and utility entries are automatically accumulated as patients pass through the model in each Markov cycle.
TreeAge Pro takes care of the calculations: Your health states, events, probabilities, costs and utilities are seamlessly integrated into model calculations.
As patients move through the states and events, costs and utilities are accumulated based on the percentage of the overall cohort that passed through that specific node in the model. The overall weighted average of cost/utility from every health state and event in every cycle results in the average cost and utility per patient. Markov Cohort Reports provide cycle-by-cycle details on disease progression cohort flow and the accumulation of cost and utility. Built-in functions handle half-cycle correction and discounting within the Markov process.

What is a Markov Model and why are they used for health economics?
Markov models allow you to represent disease progression over time in a clear and consistent framework to make well-informed healthcare decisions.
For example, you might be modeling cancer progression over time. Markov models handle this seamlessly with a framework of health states and events. Patients start each cycle in a health state, then pass through event patient pathways within a time cycle, resulting in a different distribution of patients among the health states to start the next cycle. This allows a relative simple set of progression, death and other events to occur for different patients at different times in the future.
While the patients pass through the health states and events, they accumulate costs and utilities. Costs for chronic care management and health utility are accumulated at each health state as patients progress. Costs may also be accumulated for critical events like procedures, hospitalizations and screening tests.
Markov Cohort Analysis accumulates the various costs and utility based on the percentage of the overall patient cohort that passes through these health states and events. The resulting sum of all weighted cost/utility values for all cycles generates the average cost/utility per patient. The average values per patient can then be compared to other treatment/diagnosis strategies to determine the most cost-effective option.
Markov models are also referred to as Markov chain model, state transition models and Markov tree diagrams.
