Digital medical devices (DMDs) present unique opportunities in their regulation and reimbursement. A dynamic landscape of DMD assessment frameworks is emerging within the European Union, with five clusters of prevailing approaches identified. Despite notable gaps in maturity levels, cross-country learning effects are becoming prevalent. We expect more countries, both within the EU and beyond, to follow the steps of current frontrunners, hence expediting the harmonization process.
