About

Florian Dams is a leading researcher in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and real-world evidence (RWE), with a particular focus on medical device evaluation in Europe. His most cited work critically appraises whether existing real-world data (RWD) sources can generate suitable evidence for HTA of medical devices, mapping current capabilities and identifying critical gaps. This foundational paper, with 40 citations, has shaped how researchers and policymakers assess the readiness of European data infrastructures for regulatory and reimbursement decisions. Dams’ major contribution lies in bridging the gap between rapid technological advancements in data collection and the practical, evidence-based needs of HTA bodies. By highlighting the substantial effort and resources devoted to RWD collection, he argues for a greater return on investment through more effective use of RWE. His work is essential for students and researchers navigating the complex landscape of medical device regulation, offering a clear framework for evaluating data quality and applicability. Dams continues to influence how Europe leverages digital health tools to improve patient outcomes and streamline market access.
