Mt Hood 2026 Conference

3-4 Oct 2026
Moving beyond diabetes simulation models
In addition to the Diabetes Simulation models, we will welcome proposals for challenges for other health economic disease models. We plan to work with health economic modellers to develop and undertake challenges similar to those developed for diabetes, and to establish general guidelines to promote cross-validation of health economic models. Please get in touch with us for more information and to propose or participate in an Mt Hood-style challenge.
Overview
Mount Hood, Diabetes Challenge Network, is dedicated to promoting an exchange of ideas and information between those developing and using health economic diabetes simulation models.
​
The Mount Hood, Diabetes Challenge Network, has run a diabetes health economics and computer simulation modelling conference bi-annually since 1999. A major focal point of the conferences are comparisons of health economic diabetes models both in terms of their structure and performance. A write-up of a past conference can be found here. Information, including programs for all of the past conferences, can be found on the archive page.
​
The Network has also developed an extensive set of diabetes simulation modelling resources and guidelines for those developing or using simulation models.
​
The search site function on the left-hand side of the menu bar is a good way to find specific information.
