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

August 6, 2026

11:00 AM

About this Event

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.
