Session (CTI)

PURPOSE: This breakout session introduces key tools, including PICOTS-ComTeC and CHEERS-DHI, designed to aid HEOR and HTA experts in evaluating Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) across various stages. The session focuses on bridging theory and practice through case studies and open discussions, demonstrating how these tools can support the development of comprehensive Health Technology Assessments (HTAs). DESCRIPTION: In this session, the ISPOR Digital Health SIG will provide an overview of their recent work in advancing digital health definitions and health economic reporting. The focus will then shift to the introduction and application of the PICOTS-ComTeC framework for defining patient-facing DHIs. Real cases will be shared to show how it can be easily implemented. The PICOTS-ComTeC framework is then compared to other established DHI frameworks and guidelines with the aim to evaluate the degree of overlap, identify the unique contributions of PICOTS-ComTeC, and explore how these frameworks can complement one another in practical application. As the next step, the CHEERS-DHI project—aimed at extending the CHEERS reporting guideline for economic evaluations to address the unique challenges of DHI assessments —will be presented to facilitate dissemination and gather feedback. In conclusion, an overview of the current HTA landscape will be provided by a representative from the EU-funded EDiHTA project (The European Digital Health Technology Assessment Framework). The audience will actively participate through Q&A sessions and polls, with the opportunity to engage in the final discussion. This will allow them to share their experiences, provide feedback on the proposed CHEERS-DHI guidance. We hope you join us!
