Health Utilities Index (HUI)

The Health Utilities Index (HUI) is a tool used to measure a person's overall health status and quality of life. It assesses various aspects such as mobility, vision, hearing, pain, emotion, and cognition to produce a score that reflects how health conditions affect daily living. Healthcare providers and researchers use HUI to evaluate the impact of diseases, treatments, or interventions, helping inform decisions and prioritize care. The scores are standardized, making it easier to compare health outcomes across different individuals or populations.
