The first European Digital Health Technology Assessment framework co-created by all stakeholders in the European Health Ecosystem
Health systems worldwide are under constant pressure to provide high-quality services. Digital health technologies (DHTs) can be game-changers in improving the quality of healthcare services, but existing Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methodologies are unable to capture the real added value of DHTs.
EDiHTA will be the first flexible, inclusive, validated and ready-for-use European HTA framework allowing the assessment of different DHTs (e.g. telemedicine, mApps, AI) at different Technology Readiness Levels, territorial levels (national, regional and local) and perspectives (e.g. payer, society, hospital).
The EDiHTA consortium has officially launched its Open Call for DHT developers/manufacturers to validate the first pan-European Digital Health Technology Assessment (EDiHTA) framework. We invite developers/manufacturers of digital health technologies to participate in a structured piloting phase designed to evaluate the EDiHTA toolkit’s performance in a real-world setting.
2025 marked a consolidation phase for EDiHTA, with a strong presence at key scientific, professional and policy-oriented events at the European and international levels. These engagements reinforced the project’s positioning as a reference initiative for the assessment of digital health technologies within the Health Technology Assessment landscape.
EDiHTA partners have published a new peer-reviewed scientific article addressing one of the project’s core challenges: the lack of harmonised Health Technology Assessment methods for evaluating digital health technologies across Europe.
EDiHTA is preparing for an upcoming piloting phase that will test and refine the project’s framework for the assessment of digital health technologies in Europe.
The EDiHTA project was represented at the European Patients’ Forum (EPF) Congress, held in Brussels on 26–27 November 2025.
EDiHTA will be presented at the upcoming EU Health Policy Platform (EUHPP) Live Webinar organised by the European Commission in collaboration with HIMSS: “Driving Digital Health Transformation – Insights from the HIMSS European Projects”.
