Led by Carolyn Magill, chief executive officer, Aetion provides a software solution which leverages data to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and value of medications. Biopharma companies can use the platform to demonstrate to payers and regulators which medications will best serve their populations – supporting care access and appropriateness. For payers, it provides the ability to identify therapies that are both clinically effective and cost-effective – enabling formulary and plan design that boost patient outcomes and curb premium hikes.
