HEU-EFS at ISPOR US 2026: Advancing Dialogue on Harmonized EFS Frameworks

HEU-EFS was proud to participate in ISPOR US 2026, joining global leaders in health economics, outcomes research, and healthcare policy to discuss the future of evidence generation and healthcare decision-making.

The conference provided an excellent opportunity to disseminate the work of the HEU-EFS project to an international audience. Through our presentations and discussions, we highlighted the importance of predictable timelines and early interactions between sponsors and health authorities in establishing a harmonized Early Feasibility Study (EFS) framework across Europe.

As Federico Facciolo noted, sharing our work within such a global forum reinforced how these policy approaches can support innovation not only within the EU MedTech ecosystem but also across healthcare systems worldwide. The event enabled us to position the HEU-EFS framework within the broader health economics and policy landscape, fostering valuable conversations with industry leaders, academic experts, government representatives, and other key stakeholders.

We thank everyone who engaged with us throughout the conference and look forward to continuing these important discussions to advance patient-centered innovation, improve access to medical technologies, and support better outcomes for patients.
