Welcome to the i‑HTS Glossary for the Health Technology Lifecycle

This glossary is an initiative of the EuroScan/i‑HTS network and collects terms, concepts and definitions used along the entire lifecycle of health technologies – from early development and assessment to implementation, use and disinvestment.

It supports a shared language for researchers, HTA bodies, policy makers, clinicians, educators and the public, helping to improve communication and collaboration across countries and disciplines.

       international HealthTechScan (i‑HTS)
       A global network supporting Early Awareness and Health Technology
       Assessment (HTA) through a shared vocabulary.

Find terms quickly

Use the search box at the top of the page to look up specific terms. You can also explore terms alphabetically or by topic:

Key concept of the month

Learn more about how technologies are assessed in an early phase:

➤ Early Health Technology Assessment (early HTA)

Early HTA supports decision-making on promising technologies before large-scale implementation and helps to prioritise further research.

Explore by lifecycle stage

The glossary follows the lifecycle of health technologies. Start exploring terms for:

  • Development and early awareness
  • Regulatory approval and market access
  • Implementation and real‑world use
  • Re‑assessment and disinvestment

Contribute to this glossary

Members of the EuroScan/i‑HTS community can propose new terms or improve existing definitions, referencing scientific and policy documents.

EuroScan international network e.V.

The umbrella of our international network: EuroScan international network e.V.

     Part of the EuroScan international network – supporting Early Awareness
     and Health Technology Re-Assessment worldwide.
