人工智能(Artificial Intelligence, AI),特别是生成式人工智能(Generative AI, GenAI)的快速发展,正在深刻重塑卫生技术评估(Health Technology Assessment, HTA)的研究范式与实践路径。当前,AI已在HTA多个核心环节展现出显著应用潜力,包括系统性文献综述与证据整合、临床证据(涵盖随机对照试验与真实世界数据)的自动化提取与分析,以及卫生经济模型的智能化构建等。本文通过系统梳理国内外AI在HTA领域的最新进展,深入剖析其在科学严谨性、数据隐私、算法偏倚、监管政策及人才技术等方面面临的关键挑战,并结合我国医保制度、数据生态与政策环境的独特优势,提出推动AI-HTA本土化发展路径,旨在为我国AI赋能HTA的规范应用、标准制定与政策落地提供参考依据。
Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (GenAI), is profoundly reshaping the research paradigms and practical approaches of health technology assessment (HTA). AI has already demonstrated significant potential across multiple core components of HTA, including the systematic literature reviews and evidence synthesis, the automatic extraction and analysis of clinical evidence (encompassing both randomized controlled trials and real-world data), and the intelligent development of health economic models. This review systematically examines recent global and domestic advances in the application of AI in HTA, critically analyzes key challenges related to scientific rigor, data privacy, algorithmic bias, regulatory frameworks, and technical workforce capacity, and proposes a localized implementation pathway for AI-enabled HTA in China, leveraging China's unique strengths in its national healthcare security system, data ecosystem, and policy environment. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for the standardized application, guideline development, and policy integration of AI in HTA within the Chinese context.
