Join the ASSESS-DHT Open Consultation and help us shape our DHT assessment framework!
Digital health technologies (DHTs) – including mobile health apps, telehealth solutions, AI‑based decision support systems and other software medical devices – are now a central part of Europe’s health systems. Methods for assessing their value, safety, and long‑term impact have developed unevenly across EU countries and organisations, and existing frameworks are not adapted to the fast-evolving landscape of AI-based technologies.
The ASSESS‑DHT project aims to address these gaps by developing a European framework, toolkit, and manual for the assessment of DHTs across their full lifecycle. The open public consultation offers stakeholders across the European health ecosystem an opportunity to shape this emerging framework. We want to understand whether the proposed approach is relevant and feasible, and how it should be adapted to different contexts. We also seek to ensure that the framework supports innovation while primarily protecting patients, promoting equity and trust in digital health, aligns with European regulations, and is compatible with existing national processes. Your feedback will support validation of the methods and tools developed in the project and guide the design of the final ASSESS‑DHT knowledge hub, with the Manual, Toolkit, and learning resources.
The open consultation will be available until July 31st, 2026.
