EviMed uses argumentation to aggregate evidence from clinical trials
We have developed a series of techniques to allow us to combine evidence across a range of clinical outcome indicators, patient preferences and preferences over evidence.
We have published a range of technical papers where we have developed and expanded our work. We have now published a (clinical) systematic review of chemo-radiotherapy in lung cancer, where we show that our work offers similar outcomes to conventional approaches, but allows more information to be extracted from the trial data.
