Interventions
OptiThyDose is an iterative mathematical model applied at each patient visit, consisting of three components: (i) a disease-specific pharmacometrics (PMX) model, (ii) an empirical Bayesian estimation (EBE) component, and (iii) an optimal control theory (OCT) component. It calculates the optimal LT4 or CMZ/MMZ dose to maintain Free Thyroxine (FT4) levels within the upper half of the age-specific reference range, integrating past clinical and lab data. Dosing follows international guidelines, with physicians able to consult OptiThyDose for individualized dosing within recommended ranges. At each outpatient visit, the physician can either (A) prescribe a dose within OptiThyDose's suggested range or (B) choose a dose based on personal experience.
