THCS and EDiHTA: Strengthening Synergies in Digital Health
THCS is a European initiative dedicated to accelerating the transformation of health and care systems through research, knowledge-sharing, and policy alignment. By fostering collaboration among digital health stakeholders, THCS promotes innovative, sustainable, and patient-centered healthcare solutions that are accessible to all.
EDiHTA and THCS share a common goal: enhancing the assessment and implementation of digital health technologies across Europe. While THCS focuses on systemic transformation, EDiHTA plays a crucial role in developing the first flexible, inclusive and ready-for-use European HTA framework for DHTs. The potential collaboration of two projects strengthens interoperability, evidence-based decision-making and the sustainable integration of digital solutions into health and care systems.
This webinar marked an important step in fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration in digital health assessment and implementation. Stay tuned for further updates on EDiHTA’s contributions to the evolving digital health landscape!
We extend our sincere thanks to THCS for hosting this event and providing a platform for the EDiHTA project. Special appreciation goes to all attendees and our EDiHTA representatives, Prof. Americo Cicchetti and Emmanouil Tsiasiotis, for their insightful contributions to the discussion.
