SMDM Webinar: Health Technology Assessment in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: Catch Me If You Can

06 August 2026

This webinar is rescheduled from the original July 9th date. This webinar will examine how generative AI is reshaping core HTA methods that are especially relevant for an SMDM audience of decision scientists and clinicians. It will use practical examples to show how genAI can accelerate evidence synthesis, support health economic model conceptualization and coding, and inform HTA reports and guidelines, while critically assessing risks such as bias and hallucinations. The session will also present practical guardrails— including human-in-the-loop validation and alignment with emerging HTA and AI governance initiatives— to help decision scientists determine when to trust, verify, or reject AI-assisted outputs in medical decision making.

Submit a Course Proposal

This form is for Virtual short courses, not for proposing short courses for the Annual Meeting. While courses may be submitted for both, title and content should not be exactly the same, and SMDM will work to schedule an in-person course prior to a virtual course if they feature similar content and the same instructor(s). Virtual Short Course proposals are reviewed by the SMDM Education Committee. Scheduling of short courses involves many considerations, however if your course is not immediately selected it will be held on our potential course list for the future.
