The webinar will introduce you to the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK. NICE evaluates the clinical and cost-effectiveness of both new and existing digital health products and services. This evaluation process assists healthcare providers and policymakers in making informed decisions about which technologies to adopt and fund.
