ARTICLE SUMMARY:
In this month’s spotlight from Pathways’ Document Depot, new medtech assessment programs get off the ground in the UK and Denmark, with mixed outcomes for the targeted technologies.
Docs of the Month is a regular column highlighting key findings from Pathways’ Document Depot, a database of global medtech regulatory and policy official documents, including rules, guidances, memos, white papers, and more from national authorities, non-governmental groups, and global organizations.
Medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health are increasingly attracting specialized scrutiny from government health technology assessment (HTA) bodies. That trend was on display last month with four HTA draft or final recommendations published as part of nascent medtech-focused programs in the UK and in Denmark. Those are our February Docs of the Month.
