HCB/FCRB-IDIBAPS co-leads WP4 in the EDiHTA project, with the specific task of designing the architecture of an evidence-based toolkit for a Framework aimed at assessing Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) in Europe. This toolkit will be sensitive to different types of DHTs, levels of technology development, and decisions to be made. A user guidance will also be developed to guide its implementation and use. HCB/FCRB-IDIBAPS will also participate in other work packages, including the design of the framework and its piloting and evaluation.
