Original Title: 한국형 신개발 유망의료기술 탐색체계 사업화 기반확립 연구

Authors' recommendations: In order to provide accurate and timely information to the health industry, medical service providers, policy decision makers, and patients through regular monitoring and assessment of the potential impact on the health industry, pilot projects of new and emerging health technology scanning system were carried out, and a study to establish methods for design and performance of concrete methodologies for the horizon scanning activity was performed. Based on the actual condition of domestic and foreign health technology scanning and results of preference survey on horizon scanning activity against customers, which was attempted through advanced researches in 2013 to continue the scanning activity of new and emerging health technology, a scanning tool optimized for domestic medical circumstance was developed in this study in 2014. A scan was attempted using the toolkit developed in this pilot project, and potential impact and social effect of health technologies developed for introduction to the Korean medical market within 1–5 years were analyzed. The results of this analysis were prepared as a universally accessible prospective report provided as a customized information service to medical service providers and related industries, including consumer groups. Promoting the cooperation of businesses with relevant organizations will help establish the horizon scanning system of new and emerging health technology prepared based on this pilot study project. In addition, in order to present a direction for the health and medical R&D support system to support the previous health technology assessment and management system in actuality, and to drive an efficient project creating tangible output through this newly attempted horizon scanning activity of new and emerging health technology, it is necessary to establish a long-term strategy and seek an overall method to construct a foreign base. This system is expected to explore safe and cost-effective emerging health technology, promote their introduction into domestic and foreign medical markets, and contribute to development of the health and medical industry by rapidly assessing international health technologies and new health technologies supported by domestic research and development investment, by raising their prediction potential.
