TherapySelector

TherapySelector supports you as a physician to easily and quickly choose a data-based, personalized treatment for hypertension and hepatitis C for and with your patient during consultation hours.

The app shows in a single glance information about the effectiveness of medication based on the disease remission (systolic blood pressure lower than 140 mm Hg for hypertension and viral clearance in hepatitis C), the likelihood of adverse events, cost and patient group size. This overview allows you to easily and quickly decide on the best personalized treatment method for your patient, based on up-to-date study data. 


How does TherapySelector work?
First you enter the requested characteristics of your patient by answering 4 simple questions about etiology, disease stage, previous treatments and comorbidities. Based on this, a profile of the patient is determined. The app then shows an overview of all registered treatments for that specific patient profile, based on frequently updated study results. For each therapy you find information about effectiveness, possible adverse events and costs. 


TherapySelector currently provides the following features:
• Determination of patient profiles based on four simple questions about the patient
• Probability of "success" of all registered medication (combinations) for hypertension and hepatitis C, together with the probability of adverse events associated with the patient profile 
• Detail information, including information about dosage (of the therapy regime) and the cost of a specific treatment.
• Monthly import of data from scientific studies, or at least once per quarter.
• Availability in both English and Dutch.


TherapySelector is intended to provide physicians and patients up-to-date and personalized information to support them in choosing the most appropriate treatment. In doing so, the app complements guidelines that are often not up-to-date and are based on the ‘average’ patient.The TherapySelector app can be used without creating an account.


Hypertension is currently in pre-release
Recently, we added the hypertension module as a pre-release. You can already use this module in practice, but more data is needed for a more complete overview of therapy choices. We want to already introduce a new system of information presentation about therapies, for physicians. 
Currently we are processing data from more than 60,000 patients. In the near future, we will also include additional registered therapy regimens in our database, to provide a more complete overview.


Developed with (academic) medical centers and research institutes
TherapySelector is being developed by TherapySelector in collaboration with physicians and scientists associated with universities and leading academic medical centers such as the Erasmus MC, LUMC and MUMC+. The data in the app has been authorized by specialists from Dutch scientific associations.

The results are calculated using anonymous patient data from scientific studies of published randomized controlled trials, other phase 2 & 3 studies and prospective real-life studies around the world (high quality research). Research groups and sponsors make their data available for this purpose. 


Monthly updates 
We regularly make changes to the TherapySelector app. On a frequent basis we import new data.
