We are excited to announce EDiHTA’s participation in the upcoming THCS Shared Learning Webinar, organised by Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS). During this webinar, we will explore the synergies and collaborative efforts between THCS and EDiHTA. With the theme “How can health technology assessment (HTA) for digital health technologies contribute to the transformation of health and social care systems?” this webinar is essential for anyone interested in the future of healthcare innovation in Europe.
Date: 26 March 2025
Time: 14:00 – 15:00 CET

Background
Digital health technologies (DHTs) are expected to improve both the quality and delivery of healthcare services for European countries while ensuring the sustainability of Europe’s healthcare systems. However, the implementation of DHTs implies new methodological challenges to the standardisation of assessment criteria. As long as existing Health Technology Assessment methodologies remain not harmonised and interoperable at EU level, they are unable to capture the real added value of DHTs.
Our work at EDiHTA focuses on addressing the challenges of DHTs’ implementation across Europe’s health systems. Despite their potential to improve healthcare delivery and sustainability, DHTs require standardised and interoperable assessment criteria at the EU level. That’s why the EDiHTA consortium is set to develop 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).
