Development of an Evaluation Index System for Health Recommender Systems Based on the Health Technology Assessment Framework: Cross-Sectional Delphi Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health recommender systems (HRSs) are digital platforms designed to deliver personalized health information, resources, and interventions tailored to users' specific needs. However, existing evaluations of HRSs largely focus on algorithmic performance, with limited scientific evidence supporting user-centered assessment approaches and insufficiently defined evaluation metrics. Moreover, no unified or scientifically validated framework currently exists for evaluating these systems, resulting in limited cross-study comparability and constraining regulatory and implementation decision-making.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a comprehensive, consensus-based evaluation index system for HRSs grounded in the health technology assessment (HTA) framework.
