Clinical assessment of biomedical technology
The rapid expansion of new, unproven, and often expensive biomedical technology requires controlled clinical assessment before widespread diffusion into clinical practice. The accuracy, reliability, and validity all need to be assessed in an unbiased manner to determine whether implementation is of benefit to the clinician and patient.

Biomedical technology assessment in health care centers: Systemic approach
This paper presents a systemic approach to technology assessment in acquisition processes, describing four stages that are executed sequentially and generates as output quantitative indicators that facilitate the choice of either technology. We present an application to the case of the acquisition of 164 units for clinical dental training at the School

Technology assessment in healthcare: A means for pursuing the goals of biomedical engineering
The goals of biomedical engineering include the improvement of health and life quality of mankind. However, the contribution of biomedical engineering to those worthy ends must be more clearly related. Biomedical engineers should become more active in demonstrating to policymakers and other parties in healthcare the value of the contributions of ...
