Publication Digest: Health technology assessment framework for artificial intelligence-based technologies

MTRC shares the most relevant and impactful publications in the field of market access and HEOR for medical technologies in Europe through its Publications Digest. In a recent publication, Di Bidino et al. conducted a Delphi survey among 46 experts to identify critical topics for developing a health technology assessment (HTA) framework tailored to AI-based health technologies (AIHTs). The study revealed 48 key topics, highlighting the most crucial: accuracy of the AI model, patient safety, ethical benefit-harm balance, and bias in data. The authors highlighted gaps in the EUnetHTA Core Model, proposing a comprehensive framework to guide the evaluation of AI tools like those being developed in the European AI-Mind project for early dementia diagnosis.
