AbstractWorldwide healthcare faces major challenges. Digital health technology can potentially be part of a solution for the problem, but implementing and upscaling digital health technology remains challenging. One of the main barriers of healthcare professionals seem to be related to not having sufficient information or knowledge about the available technology and to make an educated decision to use a specific technology for a specific patient. This lack of knowledge can be translated into not knowing what technology is available and not knowing what the quality of technology is. Meanwhile several assessment frameworks are being developed, but these frameworks are specifically developed to assess one type of technology (i.e. mobile apps) or can only be executed with support from the developer1. Therefore we aimed to develop a quality assessment framework for digital health technologies from the perspectives of experts in the field.Keywords: digital health, technology, quality assessment, Delphi study, physical therapy
