Example of a Health Technology Assessment HTA framework for Digital Health Technologies: Dr. Rosa V Hidalgo

Rosa, Head of HTA at AQuAS (Barcelona), talks about her experience with developing fit-for-purpose assessment frameworks for digital health technologies. She shares how the Spanish HTA network, RedETS, follows a grassroots approach — identifying common needs and building methods that truly capture the value of these innovations. Rosa reflects on how this experience can support better decisions around market access and reimbursement. We also discuss what Switzerland can learn from this approach, offering practical insights for digital health developers and health policy decision-makers.  Recaps in Swiss German & Spanish.
