The EDiHTA project will be featured at the European Patients’ Forum (EPF) Congress 2025, taking place on 26–27 November 2025 in Brussels. The EPF Congress is one of Europe’s key events for advancing patient leadership, bringing together patient organisations, policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers and industry representatives to strengthen the role of patients in shaping the future of healthcare.
On 26 November, Alexis Strader, Director of Policy and Research at the European Health Management Association (EHMA), will present a poster showcasing EDiHTA’s work on developing a European framework for the ethical and inclusive assessment of digital health technologies.
The EDiHTA framework aims to improve how digital health tools, such as AI, telemedicine and medical devices, are evaluated and adopted across Europe, ensuring that innovation remains fair, transparent and centred on real healthcare needs.
A core part of this effort is the EDiHTA Patient Advisory Group, which includes representatives from nine European countries and diverse disease areas. The group plays a crucial role in ensuring that patient experiences and expectations directly inform how digital technologies are assessed and implemented.
By combining collaboration, ethics and patient engagement, EDiHTA contributes to building a more inclusive, trustworthy and patient-centred digital health ecosystem in Europe.

The European Patients’ Forum is a key partner in the EDiHTA project, contributing its expertise in patient engagement and advocacy to ensure that patient voices are central to the development of the European framework for digital health technology assessment.
