Early health economic analysis (EHEA) provides significant value in health innovation development. Stakeholders find EHEA useful for valuation and identifying evidence gaps, with suggestions for improved implementation and presentation.
Area of Science:
- Health economics
- Health innovation
- Technology development
Background:
- Early health economic analysis (EHEA) serves diverse use cases across technology development phases.
- Multiple stakeholders with varying information needs are involved in EHEA.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the perceived value of EHEA in the health innovation lifecycle.
- To identify methodological improvements for EHEA based on stakeholder needs.
Main Methods:
- Conducted semistructured interviews with 17 stakeholders (investors, developers, grant providers, researchers, insurers, venture builders).
- Analyzed interview data using thematic analysis.
Main Results:
- Stakeholders widely perceive EHEA as valuable for innovation.
- Key values identified include independent valuation and evidence gap identification.
- Suggested improvements focus on incorporating implementation/reimbursement and enhancing result presentation.
Conclusions:
- EHEA offers added value for healthcare innovations by informing R&D steps.
- Future EHEA improvements should focus on reimbursement insights and clearer, more accessible presentation.
