NICE to launch new evidence tool for medtech product developers
30 May 2017 - NICE is launching an online tool to help medtech companies get their products to patients faster.
NICE’s Scientific Advice service is launching an online tool to help developers of medical devices and diagnostics understand and generate the evidence needed to show their products are clinically and cost effective. This will help companies prepare for a dialogue with health technology assessment organisations and payers and potentially speed up time to market.
The Medtech Early Technical Assessment (META) tool has been developed in partnership with Greater Manchester Academic Health Science Network. The tool helps companies identify what evidence they have and what gaps need to be filled to satisfy payer requirements. It is a paid for service aimed at, but not limited to, small and medium sized companies.
