Evidence standards framework for digital health technologies

Evidence standards framework for digital health technologies
NICE, Public Health England, MedCity and DigitalHealth.London December 2018
  • An evidence standards framework has been developed for digital healthcare technologies to 
    • Provide advice to digital health innovators about about how the NHS makes decisions and expected standards of evidence.
    • Help NHS commissioners to make more informed and consistent decisions and
    • Improve the approach to developing and commissioning digital health technologies by making it more dynamic and value driven, with a focus on offering real value to patients.
  • The evidence standards framework is made up of 2 sections:
    • Evidence for effectiveness for intended use.
    • Evidence for economic impact (including optional Budget Impact Template)
  • The framework directly supports the relevant principles of the code of conduct for data-driven health and care technology published in September 2018.
