HEART (Health Economics and Ageing Research Team) is a group of researchers from the Universities of A Coruña and Vigo (Spain) specialised in the field of health economics. Researchers from the Galician Health Service (SERGAS) also collaborate in HEART. 

Over recent years, we have developed projects and research contracts for different national and international institutions, among others, the World Health Organization, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), the European Commission, the Agència de Qualitat i Avaluació Sanitàries de Catalunya, the ONCE Foundation and the CASER Foundation. 

In addition to working with surveys and public records, we are specialised in obtaining data using our own surveys, by designing and programming questionnaires and their subsequent statistical and econometric treatment. 

The multidisciplinary nature of our team, made up of economists, clinicians and social workers, means that our research combines economic analysis with a clinical and social health care perspective. The recommendations we generate when designing new social and health care interventions, or assessing those already implemented, are enriched by our multidisciplinary identity.
