Artificial Intelligence and Health Technology Assessment

22 February 2026 | University Innsbruck |

Idea & Program

The health care sector—both public and private—is one of the key domains in which new AI-based applications are already being developed and will continue to emerge. At the same time, it is a field in which ethical standards and questions of trustworthiness, safety, responsibility, and reliability are of utterly importance.

The workshop will explore how trustworthy AI inspections—still a relatively new approach that has evolved alongside the recent success of widely deployed AI applications—and classical Health Technology Assessment (HTA) can complement one another. We aim to develop concepts capable of addressing the manifold challenges posed by the introduction of new AI technologies in health care.
