“…Fox example, in Finland, there is currently no formal process for such an integration. However, at the national level, the better use of the Digi-HTA recommendations is already being promoted as part of the implementation of the Hyteairo and Kati projects (12;13). One possibility to increase utilization in the future could be to combine assessments for a certain type of DHT products with a reimbursement process, as is currently the case in Germany, this would presumably also increase the willingness of companies to participate in the process (10).…”

“…However, a mHealth application can only be part of different DHT services. For example, a solution can be a digital service that includes sensors or communication devices to monitor the activities of daily living (ADL) of older adults living at home, and, in such situations, the mHealth application can inform healthcare professionals or relatives about the health status of older adults (11;12). There is a growing trend of introducing artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics solutions as well as combinations of different DHTs to the healthcare sector (11–14).…”

“…In Finland, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has published the Hyteairo and KATI programs, which aim to develop Finnish healthcare further by using novel DHTs (12;13). Those programs aim to support the utilization of AI and robotics in Finnish healthcare and provide technologies to support smart aging and care at home (12;13). Based on the aims of those programs, more evidence-based information is needed for AI, robotics, and DHTs of all kinds, for example, intelligent remote monitoring platforms, which support independent and safe living at home (11–13).…”

Objectives There has been a lack of health technology assessment (HTA) methods for novel digital health technologies (DHTs) such as mHealth, artificial intelligence, and robotics in Finland. The Digi-HTA method has been developed for this purpose. The aim of this study is to determine whether it would be possible to use Digi-HTA recommendations to support healthcare decision-makers. Secondly, from the perspective of companies offering different types of DHT products, this study assesses the suitability of using the Digi-HTA framework to perform HTAs for their products. Methods Feedback about Digi-HTA recommendations was collected from healthcare professionals. DHT companies provided input about the Digi-HTA framework. Data were collected via a web-based survey and were analyzed using qualitative methods. Results Of the twenty-four healthcare professional respondents, twenty said that the Digi-HTA recommendations contained all the necessary information, and twenty-one found them useful for their work. Respondents hoped that the Digi-HTA recommendations would be better integrated into the decision-making processes and healthcare professionals would be more informed about this new HTA process. The questions of the Digi-HTA framework were applicable for different DHT products based on the responses from DHT companies (n = 8). Conclusions According to the study participants, although the Digi-HTA recommendations include clear and beneficial information, their integration into healthcare decision-making processes should be improved. Responses from DHT companies indicate that the Digi-HTA framework would be an appropriate tool for performing assessments for their products. To generalize the findings of this study, more comprehensive studies will be needed.
