Description
The World Health Organization recommended in 2021 that all countries should have a digital health strategy after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic effectively accelerated the use of digital health technologies globally, both on the part of the patient and on the part of the digital health developers. The use of mobile applications for monitoring health or teleconsults, especially in more rural areas, has grown exponentially since the start of the pandemic. This explosion of growth has led to a number of challenges for both health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and digital health developers.
This webinar is based off discussions that were held at the 2023 ISPOR HTA Roundtable – Asia Pacific on 8 March 2023. The HTA Roundtable focused on how countries or jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region are assessing digital health technologies. This webinar will provide perspectives from different stakeholders and jurisdictions on the status of digital health assessments in the region.
The purpose of the ISPOR HTA Roundtables is to provide a platform for discussion only among HTA bodies, public and private payers, other governmental decision makers, and academics when no HTA body exists in the country. The goal is to advance the application of research on health technologies and to promote a valuable exchange of information, methods, and knowledge in the development of value assessment, or health technology assessment, in 5 major regions of the world (Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and North America.)
