Abstract

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of Medical devices (MDs) and MD-based procedures can be challenging due to the unique features and particularities of this group of technologies, such as device-operator interaction. The aim of this study was to (1) clarify, and supplement earlier findings on European HTA institutions’ structural, procedural and methodological characteristics with regard to the assessment of MDs and to (2) capture the institutions’ perceptions regarding challenges and future trends.
