Abstract When developing new medical technologies, it’s important to consider costs and benefits early in the process. Health economics modeling can help with this by making sure new products are both effective and financially viable. This approach speeds up evaluations and ensures new medical innovations meet market demands.
According to Saboor et al. (2024), focusing on economic factors early on improves strategies for managing neurodegenerative diseases. By identifying financial and clinical challenges ahead of time, developers can create solutions that increase acceptance of their products.
A concept called “social surgery,” introduced by Tsagkaris et al. (2023), highlights the need for a broader approach to medical technology assessment (MTA). This means looking at both social and financial aspects, encouraging collaboration among stakeholders. When health economics is included in decision-making, experts can better balance costs with patient benefits. Research by Elshikh et al. (2024) also supports integrating economic and health assessments, particularly for innovations like nanotechnology that address environmental challenges.
Bringing health economics into MTA early on helps create medical products that are not only clinically effective but also sustainable and socially responsible. A well-rounded assessment process leads to better healthcare outcomes and more efficient use of resources. As studies suggest (Gkagkaris et al., 2022; Papadakis et al., 2017), integrating economic analysis in early product development ensures that new technologies meet clinical needs while strengthening the healthcare system.
