●●SolidNiche Gem

Zero-dependency Rust crate for QALY and ICER calculations with reproducible randomness.

Strengths
  • Std-only implementation with Option<f64> returns handles division by zero gracefully.
  • Seeded deterministic generator ensures probabilistic sensitivity analysis is reproducible.
  • Comprehensive tutorials cover everything from waiting lists to business cases.
Weaknesses
  • Extremely narrow audience of health economists who also write Rust.
  • Lacks integration with common healthcare data formats like FHIR or OMOP.

Post Description

Health economics is the study of healthcare systems in terms of costs, resources, outcomes, equity, ethics, and the like.

I'm creating a health economics rust crate that has many of the calculations, and I'm seeking feedback from people in the field on how to improve it.
