About
Anna Maijala is a leading figure in the evaluation of digital healthcare, with her work centering on health technology assessment (HTA) for emerging digital services. Her most influential contribution is the development of the "Digi-HTA" framework, introduced in her highly cited 2019 paper (86 citations). This framework provides a systematic, decision-maker-focused method for assessing the properties, effects, and impacts of new digital health technologies, addressing a critical gap in how these innovations are evaluated before widespread adoption. By adapting traditional HTA principles to the unique challenges of digital solutions—such as rapid iteration and data security—Maijala has equipped policymakers and healthcare providers with a practical tool to support informed, evidence-based introduction of digital tools. Her work directly bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical governance, ensuring that new digital services are both effective and safe. Through this foundational framework, Maijala has established herself as a key architect in the responsible integration of digital health into modern care systems.
