ASCERTAIN Framework

What is ASCERTAIN?

ASCERTAIN is a project aimed at helping people get better access to new health technologies such as medicines, medical devices, and tests. The project is creating a tool that can be used by decision-makers to understand the cost and value of these new health technologies.

Why is the affordability of innovative health technologies a challenge?

It’s a challenge for many countries in the European Union to afford new health technologies because they are often expensive and not everyone has equal access to them. This tool will help decision-makers understand how much these technologies should cost and how much they can save the healthcare system.

What is the ASCERTAIN policy support tool?

The tool will be accessible to everyone on the internet and will have information about the cost and value of these new health technologies. It will also consider the impact on the environment. The project will work with patients, industry, policy makers, and payers to make sure the tool is good quality and useful.

What are the goals of ASCERTAIN?

The goal of ASCERTAIN is to make it easier for people to understand the cost and value of new health technologies. The tool will be open to everyone and will be able to be adapted to different countries’ needs. It will have information about the cost and value of these technologies and will encourage “greener” production.
