Schedule-at-a-Glance
Plenary 1 - Exploring the Multiverse of Healthcare through HTA: Diverse perspectives, unified outcomes
This plenary focuses on the diversity of HTA in terms of methodologies, types of health technologies or programs, and initiatives shaping the dynamic landscape. The diverse ways HTA is used across countries and settings, HTA harmonisation efforts, methods for equitable evaluation in HTA, and the importance of the patient perspective in HTA are the main themes that will be discussed.

Plenary 2 - The Road Ahead: Navigating Possibilities with HTA
This plenary session, co-organised with Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, will explore the critical role of HTA in shaping the future of data-driven, artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered personalised medicine (PM). The advent of big health data analytics has enabled the synergies between AI and PM, which are mainly divided into four groups: digital diagnostics, therapy planning, risk prediction, disease self-management. As these innovative technologies rapidly and simultaneously evolve, HTA serves as a key framework to assess their clinical effectiveness, economic value, equity and ethical implications, ensuring they deliver meaningful benefits to patients and healthcare systems.

Plenary 3 - Translating HTA into Impactful Results: Value-based Healthcare
The session discusses how HTA helps to achieve value-based healthcare (VBHC), showcasing the importance of implementation strategies to drive adoption of cost-effective health technologies, and measurement systems to understand the impact of HTA on health outcomes and healthcare systems. International health economics outcomes research, translation of evidence to policy guidelines at a national level, the role of price volume agreements and risk sharing agreements in VBHC, and perspectives on the practical application of VBHC towards tangible measurable outcomes will be discussed.
