Ongoing HTAs by SESCS in Spain in April 2026

In April 2026, the Canary Islands Healthcare Evaluation Service (SESCS) is working on several HTAs, including evaluations in e-health, IVD, neuromodulation, obstetrics and gynecology, and some other fields. These projects are being elaborated within the annual work plan of the Spanish Network of HTA Agencies (RedETS), financed by the Ministry of Health.

Some MedTech-related examples are provided below:

  • Telemonitoring systems for the prediction and detection of falls in people over 65 years of age;
  • Universal non-invasive prenatal screening using fetal DNA in maternal blood for the detection of aneuploidies in chromosomes 13, 18, 21, and sex chromosomes;
  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the treatment of resistant major depressive disorder;
  • Efficacy and safety of non-pharmacological interventions in patients with fibromyalgia in primary care.

The full details in Spanish can be found hereand here.
