EDiHTA
The first European Digital HTA framework co-created by all stakeholders along the value chain.
Health Policy Institute is a part of the Consortium for the EDiHTA project undertaken within the EU Horizon Europe programme.
About the project:
Health systems worldwide are under constant pressure to provide high-quality services. Digital health technologies (DHTs) can be game-changers in improving the quality of healthcare services. Existing Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) are unable to capture the real added value of DHTs. EDiHTA, a 4-year research project recently funded under the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, is set out to develop the first flexible, inclusive, validated and ready-for-use European HTA framework reaching Technology Readiness Level 6-7, allowing the assessment of different DHTs (e.g. telemedicine, mApps, AI) at different TRLs, territorial levels (national, regional and local) and perspectives (e.g. payer, society, hospital).
Awarded with 8 million euros in funding under the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, the project officially started on January 1, 2024.
