BEANZ is a user-friendly, open-source, validated software suite for the application of Bayesian methods for heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) analysis.

The steps are straightforward. Upload data, apply statistical analysis, and get reports.

Individuals vary in their response to treatment: some derive substantial overall benefit; some derive little benefit, while others are harmed. Understanding this HTE is critical for evaluating how well a treatment can be expected to work for an individual patient or a group of patients. Assessment of HTE is essential in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR), which aims to help patients and stakeholders make informed personalized health care decisions.
