Fact Sheet (back to top^)
Archimedes is a Healthcare Modeling company with its headquarters in San Francisco. Our core technology - the Archimedes Model – is a mathematical model of human physiology, diseases, interventions and healthcare systems. The Model is highly detailed and rigorously validated.
The Model has been in development since 1993 by David Eddy MD, PhD, and Len Schlessinger PhD and with the help of Kaiser Permanente. It combines biological, clinical, and economic data with advanced mathematics and computing methods to create a full scale simulation model that can analyze a large variety of healthcare questions. In 2006 Archimedes Inc. was spun-off as an independent organization.
