Health Technology Assessment for Cardiovascular Digital Health Technologies and Artificial Intelligence: Why is it Different?
In this review, we compare digital health technologies and artificial intelligence with traditional healthcare technologies, review existing health technology assessment frameworks, and discuss challenges and opportunities related to cardiovascular digital health technologies and artificial intelligence health technology assessment. Specifically, we argue that health technology assessments for digital health technologies and artificial intelligence applications must allow for a much shorter device life cycle, given the rapid and even potentially continuously iterative nature of this technology, and thus an evidence base that maybe less mature, compared to traditional health technologies and intervention
