🚀 The European health sector is rapidly evolving, driven by tech advances and shifting healthcare priorities. Digital innovation is key to improving patient access, personalised treatments, and seamless patient-provider communication. But there's a critical need for skilled professionals to navigate this complex landscape.    📉 A joint report by the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the WorkInHealth Foundation reveals a skills and talent shortage in Europe's health sector. This shortage stems from rapid sector changes, demographic shifts, regulatory complexities, and rising demand for specialised knowledge in digital health, personalised medicine, biotechnology, and more.  📊 The report offers insights from VCs, startups, and industry experts, emphasising the need for competency and expertise to keep pace with these advancements. 📌👉 https://lnkd.in/enaPS77d 💡 How can we bridge this skills gap to ensure the health sector's growth and innovation?

Securing a NICE recommendation can help support HealthTech products get to market, but even then, there is no guarantee this will lead to funding directly. It is a signal to the system, but there is no direct linkage. ABHI Executive Director, Digital Health Andrew Davies spoke to Chris Sampson at the Office of Health Economics about how to rectify this.

How good does a health innovation need to be to meet user demand or be marketable? Early HTA has the answer! 💡 Often, even when a health technology is fully developed, it faces limitations in real-world applications, making it unsellable and failing to provide returns on investment. How can one know whether to invest in researching and developing a particular innovation? Which innovations can be practically applied and provide worthwhile returns on investment? 🌟 Early Health Technology Assessment (Early HTA) is the study and evaluation of health technologies in the early stages of their product lifecycle. This helps innovation developers understand the value, supporting data, and effectiveness goals of their products. It is a method that addresses the cost-effectiveness of the investment. We invite everyone to learn about the role of Early HTA in health innovation development, alongside “MIDAS,” one of the few teams in the world and the only one in Asia, specializing in early-stage health technology assessment.
