Comparative Analysis of Digital Health Technology Value Frameworks

Four articles and five organizational frameworks from a search of 1,132 sources form the basis for this review. Briana M. Choi published this comparative analysis in May 2026, identifying six core value domains for evaluating digital health technologies. The study compares frameworks from UK NHS, Digital Therapeutic Alliance, World Bank, ICER-PHTI, and NICE.

Use Cases

• Compare stakeholder priorities across digital health value frameworks based on the identified six core domains.
• Guide the development of new evaluation criteria for digital health technologies based on the synthesized value indicators.
• Analyze variations in value framework comprehensiveness using the described heat map analysis.

Strengths

• The analysis is based on a systematic search of 1,132 articles across PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar.
• It compares five established frameworks from major organizations like the UK NHS and World Bank.
• The review identifies six specific, named value domains (e.g., technical and security aspects, health inequalities).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 174.9 KB document collection; its scope is limited to a review paper and not a primary data collection.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The narrative review method is noted to have potential for bias and subjectivity.
