About
Silvia Minozzi is a leading figure in health technology assessment (HTA) and evidence-based medicine, with a focus on bridging critical research gaps to inform health policy. Her major contributions center on developing pragmatic methodologies for evaluating emerging technologies when scientific evidence is scarce. Her seminal 2010 paper, "A method for addressing research gaps in HTA, developed whilst evaluating robotic-assisted surgery: a proposal," has garnered 10 citations and remains a foundational framework for assessing innovative health technologies. This work was instrumental in shaping a pioneering regional policy in Emilia Romagna, Italy, which linked the governance of health innovations directly to the development of clinical research. Minozzi’s approach empowers decision-makers to move beyond simply acknowledging uncertainty, instead creating structured pathways to generate needed evidence. Her research has had a tangible impact on how health systems evaluate and adopt new surgical technologies, ensuring that patient safety and clinical effectiveness are prioritized even in data-poor environments. Through her methodical and policy-oriented work, Minozzi has become a key voice in translating HTA principles into actionable governance, influencing both national and international discussions on responsible health innovation.
