For the first time, the prestigious HTAI Annual Congress will be held in Argentina, from June 14 to 18 in Buenos Aires. The Institute for Clinical and Healthcare Effectiveness (IECS) is the local supporting organization, reaffirming its leadership in health technology assessment at the regional level.
New data sources will be addressed, from wearable devices to environmental trends, as well as advanced artificial intelligence tools that are reshaping the future of HTA worldwide.
Among the participations, the three plenary sessions will be given by IECS directors Andrés Pichón-Riviere, Federico Augustovski, and Adolfo Rubinstein.
