Luis Filipe

Luis Filipe serves as a Lecturer in Health Economics at Lancaster University, affiliated with the Health Research department and the Data Science Institute. His academic profile centers on rigorous economic evaluation of health interventions with emphases on aging populations, long-term care systems, and health equity.

His research program investigates critical intersections of health policy and economics, particularly disability trajectories following acute health events, digital health intervention evaluation, and pandemic response trade-offs. Methodologically, he employs discrete choice experiments, cost-effectiveness analysis, and mixed-methods approaches to address real-world healthcare allocation challenges. Recent work demonstrates growing focus on neighborhood-level health equity metrics and caregiver support systems.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2012-2025) reveals consistent high-impact output in health economics journals, with accelerating focus on digital health (2022-2025) and pandemic-related policy analysis. His work increasingly integrates spatial epidemiology and social determinants frameworks while maintaining methodological rigor in economic evaluation.

Dr. Filipe's recognition includes:

• Sespas Award for Best Presentation at the 38th Spanish Health Economics Association Conference
• Competitive Masters’ Scholarship
• Competitive Ph.D. Scholarship from FCT (Portuguese national funding agency)

He currently supervises PhD candidate Abimbola Onigbanjo-Williams and leads two major research projects: Technologically enabled medication devices and medicine adherence (TEMDMA) (2024-2026) and a UK-focused study on takeaway food consumption drivers (2023-2024). His work receives support through competitive grants and institutional partnerships.

As an active member of the Centre for Health Inequalities Research, CHICAS, and the Health Economics research group, he contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations addressing systemic healthcare challenges. His engagement with the Portuguese and European Health Economics Associations demonstrates commitment to shaping health policy discourse.
