Abstract
The implementation of innovative medical technologies into healthcare practice can significantly prolong and improve the quality of life of the population. However, successful integration of these technologies into the healthcare system requires a systematic approach to finding and evaluating innovations. Such evaluation should take place at different stages — development, registration planning and pre-market release — and consider the wider implications of these innovations for medical practice. The purpose of this review is to describe the underlying principles of leading international horizon scanning systems, using examples from Singapore, Canada, England, France, England, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, and the USA. In addition, the review aims to identify general trends in the development of these systems and explore their potential applicability to the healthcare system of the Russian Federation.
