Assessment of Technologies in Health (PATH)

Assessment of Technologies in Health (PATH) is a careful process that evaluates medical innovations—like devices, procedures, or medicines—to determine their safety, effectiveness, and cost-efficiency. It involves reviewing scientific evidence, understanding potential risks, and considering how well the technology works in real-world settings. The goal is to provide healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients with reliable information to make informed decisions about adopting new health technologies, ensuring they deliver genuine benefits while being safe and economically sustainable.
