This THCS shared learning webinar, organised by WP10, will explore the synergies between the two European funded projects, THCS and EDiHTA (European Digital Health Technology Assessment, in collaboration with EHTEL.
Specifically, the webinar will be the opportunity to discuss how digital health technology assessment can contribute to the transformation of health and social care systems. Digital health technologies (DHTs) are expected to improve both the quality and delivery of healthcare services for European countries while ensuring the sustainability of Europe’s healthcare systems. However, the implementation of DHTs implies new methodological challenges to the standardisation of assessment criteria. As long as existing Health Technology Assessment methodologies remain not harmonised and interoperable at EU level, they are unable to capture the real added value of DHTs. EDiHTA has the ambition to overcome this barrier by co-creating European HTA framework reaching Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6-7, allowing the assessment of different DHTs (e.g. telemedicine, mApps, AI) at different TRLs, territorial levels (national, regional and local) and perspectives (e.g. payer, society, hospital).
The webinar will be an opportunity to learn more about the development of the framework and its piloting in 5 European countries.
EHTEL Secretary General, Marc Lange, will be one of the panellists.
