Why You're Here
WE MAXIMISE THE VALUE OF MEDICINES
ValueBase is driven by a singular mission: to ensure all patients have timely access to the best treatments available, no matter where they live.
We partner with pharma companies to visualise the access environment and highlight disparities in target therapy areas. Our AI-powered data solutions provide a unique evidence-base to inform strategies that maximise the value of medicines.
The world’s biggest pharma companies use ValueBase as their data insights partner – helping them design agile access strategies that support every stage of the product lifecycle, from early asset to loss of exclusivity.
Together we’re unlocking equitable access to medicines.
We specialise in AI-powered data solutions that help pharma companies identify and manage barriers to access – allowing them to design strategies based on real-world indicators and meaningful analogues. We also partner with health providers and policymakers to highlight gaps in access that need addressing.
Our descriptive and predictive AI-led solutions can track the access environment in five key European markets – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK – mapping the changes driving regional access in each country, across formularies, guidelines or contracts. Insights can be combined with your latest prescribing data to give you critical insights around availability and impact.
We can also help you see into the future. Our AI solutions – powered by the highest quality longitudinal data out there – enable next generation predictive modelling, allowing companies to pre-empt (and plan for) negative access events with confidence. Now you really can predict the predictable and see the unseeable.

Formulytics tracks medicines formularies all day, every day – detecting updates the day they happen.
It allows businesses to monitor product availability and adoption, benchmark competitors, identify early adopters and respond to gaps in access. Formulytics makes the invisible visible. Quickly and accurately.
In some countries, guidelines sit separately to formularies.
Guidelight can provide a real-time view of local guidelines. Once a therapy area is coded, it monitors the environment 24/7, capturing updates for every published guideline and every locality.
Our FOI system monitors updates to unpublished guidelines too, giving customers a 360° view of positioning, prescribing options and recommendations.
Our proprietary indexing tool, the Availability Index is a standard measure of access for every product that allows companies to compare the access availability of products within a locality and across regions.
It takes account of the initiating prescriber, the positioning and restrictions noted within the relevant access documents.

Our Tools
NEXT GENERATION ACCESS SOLUTIONS. ENGINEERED HERE.
ADA is our custom-designed artificial intelligence tool that works in the background of the business 24/7. ADA is programmed to look through millions of rows of UK formulary data and guidelines every day to flag changes for our data managers to investigate. Inspired by Ada Lovelace –who published the first known computer algorithm – she’s one of the team.
ANA is ADA’s twin sister – her focus is on formularies in markets outside the UK.
Our web scraping system for extracting published data from formularies/access sources. Designed in-house by our data engineers.
Built in-house, Humanae is web resource monitoring software for formulary information.
How We Do It
DIGITAL INGENUITY WITH THE HUMAN TOUCH
Public information on formularies and guidelines is disparate, variable and hard to find. The volume of change each day is vast. If you want to monitor the environment, you need automation to remove the heavy lifting so humans can focus on the “smart things".
Our AI-led solutions combine smart data engineering with the human experience. Our systems are built in-house by our engineers using AI, machine learning and automation solutions to drive our innovations. Information is reviewed and cleansed by experts, then moved into data systems that fire our innovations.
It’s human experience and artificial intelligence combined to create insight that helps unlock access to medicines.
