As the Health Technology Assessment International Annual Meeting in Istanbul comes to a close, EDiHTA would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the event a valuable and memorable milestone for the project.
Over the course of the conference, EDiHTA was proud to contribute to the scientific programme through:
- A dedicated panel session exploring the future implementation and sustainability of the EDiHTA framework;
- An interactive workshop bringing together the international HTA community to discuss how AI-enabled Digital Health Technologies intended to diagnose, treat and monitor diseases should be evaluated across different health systems;
- Seven scientific posters showcasing the project’s methodological developments and research findings.
These contributions reflect the collaborative efforts of our consortium and our shared ambition to advance rigorous, transparent and lifecycle-based Health Technology Assessment for Digital Health Technologies. One of the highlights of this year’s meeting was the opportunity to engage with experts from across the world in shaping the future evaluation of AI-enabled Digital Health Technologies. The enthusiasm, constructive discussions and willingness to collaborate confirmed that there is a growing international momentum towards developing more harmonised and globally relevant methodological approaches.
For EDiHTA, Istanbul marks not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new phase. As the project moves towards its final year, our focus is increasingly on sustainability, international collaboration and ensuring that the framework continues to evolve beyond the lifetime of the project.
We now look ahead to HTAI 2027 in Brussels, where we hope to celebrate a major milestone for EDiHTA by presenting the project’s final outcomes, sharing the progress made towards a globally applicable framework for Digital Health Technologies, and continuing the dialogue with the international HTA community. A sincere thank you to all consortium partners, collaborators, presenters, participants and everyone who stopped by our sessions to exchange ideas and challenge our thinking.
The future of Digital Health Technology Assessment will be built together. See you in Brussels!
