Critical Analysis and Evaluation of Current Digital Healthcare Solutions

Digitalization of health, healthcare and healthcare delivery unequivocal have positive consequences contributing to health system goals, but they also might have some negative ones which have to be avoided or mitigated. The scope of this paper is to introduce the necessity of the assessment of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and to identify the most appropriate and important criteria needed for the evaluation and comparison of functional digital healthcare solutions. It aims to outline consistent criteria against which digital health technologies and services can be evaluated during the prototyping phase, but also during long-term operation.
