Over the past weeks, the EDiHTA project has been presented and discussed at prominent conferences across Europe. Members of the EDiHTA project showcased the project’s ambitions and engaged with interested stakeholders at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference, the European Health Management Association (EHMA) conference, and the Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi) conference in Rome, IT, Bucharest, RO and Seville, ES, respectively.
HIMSS24: Bridging Gaps in Digital Health
At the HIMSS conference, the EDiHTA project team highlighted their mission to streamline and enhance HTA processes through digital innovation. The conference, known for its emphasis on health information and technology, provided a perfect platform for EDiHTA to demonstrate the project’s mission and vision of developing the first digital European HTA framework. The EDiHTA presentation received positive feedback, with many participants expressing the importance of a holistic European HTA framework to fulfil the potential of digital healthcare technologies to transform healthcare delivery.
EHMA Conference: Collaborative Efforts for Better Health Management
During the EHMA conference, EDiHTA members focused on the importance of collaboration in HTA across Europe. The EHMA conference, which gathers health managers, policymakers, and researchers, was an ideal venue for discussing the project’s goals and achievements. The EDiHTA team emphasised the importance of stakeholder and patient engagement and presented case studies showcasing successful implementation of their digital tools in various European healthcare settings. The discussions underlined the need for integrated efforts to tackle common challenges in health management.
HTAI Conference: Enhancing Synergies in Health Technology
At the HTAi conference, our EDiHTA team had a unique opportunity to connect with leading minds in Health Technology Assessment from all corners of the world. Together, we explored the vital role of HTA in driving health innovation. The conference offered various formats, including plenary and panel sessions, poster presentations, demonstrations and many more. Our team was proud to present our project at the dedicated poster session and demonstration booth, showcasing its complexity and significance in bringing together diverse stakeholder groups to deliver a comprehensive HTA framework allowing the assessment for DHTs.
These conferences showed the importance of building robust networks and synergies among HTA stakeholders in Europe. By fostering collaboration between different countries and institutions, EDiHTA aims to create a holistic, validated and ready-to-use European HTA framework.
