Developing tools to support digital health and medtech innovation
8 August 2018 - NICE is involved in two key initiatives with national partners to achieve these aims by developing standards to help innovators and commissioners to understand what ‘good’ evidence for digital technologies looks like, and a new online tool to enable companies to inform organisations like NICE and NHS England about digital health and medical technologies they are developing.
Working with NHS England, MedCity, Public Health England and DigitalHealth.London we are developing a set of standards that set out the levels of evidence needed by the health and care system to demonstrate clinical effectiveness and economic benefit, for different types of digital health technologies.
Our goal is to create a set of ‘Evidence for Effectiveness’ standards that is recognised and adopted across the health and care system. In recent months we have been bringing key parties together, including Industry, Commissioners and other stakeholders, to better understand their needs to inform the standards we want to create.
