HTx Project - Next Generation Health Technology Assessment

The HTx Project - Next Generation Health Technology Assessment    As the European Commission's funding period for the #HorizonEurope-funded HTx project is ending today, we take this opportunity to look back at the past five-and-a-half-years and highlight some of the HTx achievements: 👉 Over 40 articles published in international, relevant peer-reviewed, open-access journals (and more publications to come over the coming months)  👉6 General Assemblies, 5 HTx Forums and 5 Expert Forums  👉Over 100 presentations at international meetings and conferences, including ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research, ISPOR Europe and Health Technology Assessment international (HTAi) Annual Meeting  👉52 deliverables   👉More than a dozen HTx workshops & webinars  We want to thank the project Coordinator Professor Wim Goettsch and the researchers and experts at our partners at Utrecht University, Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, University of Oulu, University of York / Centre for Health Economics, Medical University of Sofia, MUS, University of Bern, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, EORTC - European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, The Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency, TLV, Zorginstituut Nederland, NICE - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Syreon Research Institute, SYNAPSE Research Management Partners, EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe and Maastricht University for their dedicated work throughout the project. Although we wish we could have more time to facilitate the uptake of innovative methods in the national and European HTA practices, hopefully, projects such as SUSTAIN-HTA can provide a solution to this in the future.   #HTx_H2020 #H2020 #EU_H2020 #HTA #HealthTechnologyAssessment #HorizonEurope

We're excited to share our latest advancement in health technology assessment. As part of the EU-funded HTx project, we've developed CHEERS-AI—a reporting standard to improve transparency and quality in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of AI-enabled healthcare interventions.

At the end of such a large-scale Horizon 2020 project, it is important to explore the key lessons learned with the consortium and Expert Forum members. Even if the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant and unforeseen influence on the implementation of the HTx project, the final deliverables often went beyond what was initially promised. Interactive Expert Forum meetings were appreciated by different stakeholders. We wish we could have more time to facilitate the uptake of innovative methods in the national and European HTA practices, but hopefully, SUSTAIN-HTA can provide a solution to this problem. #HTx_H2020 #H2020
