Objectives: The purpose of this study is to present the needs for New Health Technology in Korean medicine field and suggest the strategy to raise the application and selection rate.
Methods: In this study, we reviewed the application status of New Health Technology application from April 27, 2007 to June 30, 2016. And we analyzed the assessment methods, procedures, and failure factors through the two Research stage technologies reports in Korean medicine field.
Results: In Korean medicine field, the application status of New Health Technology is very small as 2% of the whole applications. Moreover, 62.9% of the applied technology were either an existing technology or an early technology, so did not enter the assessment process. Two technologies categorized as Research stage technology also had failed to adopt New Health Technology because they were lacking evidences or need more research to prove effectiveness.
Conclusions: In order to develop New Health Technology in Korean medicine, more efforts should be made to activate research that can prove the safety and effectiveness of medical technology, and to create a quantitative or qualitative basis for the results of the research. Also, it is necessary to increase researchers’ awareness of New Health Technology. And the strategy to positively utilize the “Limited Approval” to promote clinical studies.
