About
Dr. Miia Turpeinen is a leading expert in health technology assessment (HTA), with a specific focus on the evaluation of digital health technologies (DHTs). Her primary research area centers on developing and implementing novel assessment frameworks for emerging tools such as mHealth applications, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Dr. Turpeinen’s major contribution is the creation of the Digi-HTA method, a pioneering assessment framework designed to address the unique challenges posed by digital innovations, which traditional HTA models often fail to capture. Her foundational work, "Implementation of a new Digi-HTA process for digital health technologies in Finland" (2022), has garnered 24 citations, establishing a key reference point for policymakers and researchers. This work directly responded to a 2018 call from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health for new evaluation methods. By bridging the gap between rapid technological advancement and rigorous evidence-based policy, Dr. Turpeinen’s research is instrumental in ensuring that safe, effective, and cost-efficient digital health solutions are integrated into healthcare systems. Her ongoing efforts continue to shape how nations assess and adopt the next generation of medical technologies.
