Health Utilities Index

The Health Utilities Index (HUI) is a tool used to measure and describe a person's overall health and well-being across different areas, such as physical abilities, mental health, and pain. It translates these health aspects into a single score that reflects quality of life, which can be used to compare health outcomes or evaluate treatments. The HUI helps healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers understand how health conditions impact daily life and prioritize healthcare decisions, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and resource allocation.
