From the live chat:
[00:21] Madhusudan Kabra: SLR - clinical, economic, utility values etc. in a embase etc.
[00:22] Stu McCully: The requirements of EUnetHTA will be replaced by the EU Health Technology Assessment Regulation in May 2025
[00:22] David Thompson: And it's pronounced yoo-NET-uh
[00:29] Stu McCully: ChatGPT - totally agreement with Kevin’s concerns about its limitations
[00:40] Charlie Barr: Would add “priorities” and “silos” to “urgency” as reasons why the ideal global dossier isn’t always created at the beginning of HTA preparation process
[00:42] Madhusudan Kabra: There are auto- SLR options available - DistllerSR etc. what you are saying Kevin is the next level in this evolution as to what does it make me understand from this data? Is this correct?
