Hybrid closed-loop systems to be evaluated within the Orderly introduction framework in Sweden

On September 20, 2024, the Swedish Medical Technologies Product (MTP) Council announced the launch of the national evaluation of hybrid closed-loop systems for adults with type 1 diabetes within the Orderly introduction framework and commissioned the Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) to perform a health economic evaluation. 

The Orderly introduction framework supports the national adoption of novel technologies via a staged process, including horizon scanning, selection of the method for evaluation, the decision on national collaboration, health economic evaluation by the TLV, and recommendations by the MTP Council to regions regarding the implementation of the technology and criteria for use.

TLV is starting a preliminary study to determine how the health economic evaluation should be carried out for this product group. A preliminary study is planned to be completed by the end of 2024, and then, the health economic evaluation can start.
