We conduct quality assessments and economic evaluations such as cost estimates and cost-effectiveness analyses in health and long-term care services for older adults, using large-scale real-world data (RWD), including National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups (NDB), the Long-Term Care Insurance Comprehensive Database (Long-term care DB), and private sector claims databases.
