  • To identify effective health technologies and understand limitations of ineffective ones.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic and multidisciplinary study of short- and long-term effects of health technologies.
  • Integration of expertise from clinical medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, bioengineering, health economics, administration, psychology, sociology, ethics, and legal science.
  • Inclusion of experiences and opinions from health technology users and consumers, including patient advocacy groups.

Main Results:

  • HTA facilitates identification of effective health technologies.
  • HTA clarifies the limitations and ineffectiveness of certain health technologies.
  • HTA supports informed decision-making across the healthcare ecosystem.

Conclusions:

  • Effective HTA is vital for healthcare providers, payers, manufacturers, policymakers, and the public.
  • HTA's multidisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of health technologies.
  • Incorporating user and consumer perspectives enhances the accuracy and relevance of HTA.
