The EDiHTA project will be featured at the HTAi 2026 Annual Conference in Istanbul through a dedicated panel session exploring the role of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in supporting Europe’s digital health transition.
Taking place on Monday, 8 June, from 16:45 to 17:45, the session, titled “The Role of HTA in Driving the Digital Health Transition in Europe: The Case of the EDiHTA Project,” will bring together leading experts from the fields of health technology assessment, digital health, policy, and regulation.
The discussion will focus on how lifecycle assessment approaches for Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) can strengthen the contribution of HTA to evidence-based decision-making and support the transformation of healthcare systems across Europe. Participants will explore the role of HTA throughout the development, implementation, and evaluation of digital health solutions, highlighting both research and regulatory perspectives.
The panel will feature:
- The session will be chaired by Dario Sacchini (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore)
- Teresa Barcina (MedTech Europe)
- Joan Segur Ferrer (Agència de Qualitat i Avaluació Sanitàries de Catalunya – AQuAS)

By bringing together representatives from key stakeholder groups, the session will provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with assessing digital health technologies and their impact on healthcare systems in Europe.
