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).
With the EU Health Technology Assessment Regulation (HTAR) now in its implementation phase and the European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation formally adopted and entering its transition phase, attention is rapidly shifting from legislative ambition to practical implementation.
The EDiHTA partners will contribute to a dedicated workshop at the Health Technology Assessment international (HTAi) 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place from 6 to 10 June 2026 in Istanbul, Türkiye.
Meet EDiHTA at the HTAi 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place from 6 to 10 June 2026 in Istanbul!
We are pleased to share that the EDiHTA publication titled “Towards a harmonised Health Technology Assessment framework for Digital Health Technologies in Europe” has been selected as an Editor’s Choice paper in the April 2026 issue of Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR.
In this final episode of the EDiHTA mini-series, we explore how digital medical devices are transforming healthcare across Europe. Host Flavia Topan is joined by patient advocate Dave Chuter to discuss key issues such as patient safety, trust, data protection and the role of patients in health technology assessment (HTA).
The EDiHTA team successfully held its webinar on 25 February 2026, presenting the EDiHTA Open Call for digital health technology developers and manufacturers. If you were unable to attend, the webinar recording and presentation slides are now available.
