Horizon scanning for new medical devices
Published:
Changes
Our horizon scans help identify new and emerging health technologies that may be used in the future. NOMA is commissioned to identify novel and potentially important medical devices since January 1, 2024.
At NOMA, we frequently consult other governmental bodies and international organizations (see list below) about emerging medical devices, procedures and diagnostic tools.
We notify the national system of managed introduction (Nye metoder) of new and potentially important technologies (horizon scans) that may be beneficial for patients in Norway. Our alerts may also concern the reassessment of an existing health technology.
Notifications are evaluated within two months. During this period, anyone may submit their own evaluations and opinions on the respective medical device. Read more about alerting Nye metoder and giving feedback on their website (only available in Norwegian).
Prior to assessing a health technology, we evaluate whether the medical product meets certain prerequisites. Health technology assessments are commissioned by the Ordering forum (Bestillerforum).
Our horizon scans and pre-assessments are published at MedNytt.no (only available in Norwegian).
