About us

Medical Innovation Development and Assessment Support (MIDAS) is, currently one of a few in the world, an agency specializing in early Health Technology Assessment (early HTA).

Originated from the cooperation between Thailand’s Health Innovation and Technology Assessment Program Foundation (HITAP Foundation) and National University of Singapore’s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, the objective of MIDAS is to support and advance medical innovation development by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, identifying promising medical technologies, promoting cutting-edge research, facilitating translational efforts, and demonstrating the economic value of early-stage medical innovations.  

We also empower individuals and organizations with the necessary skills and tools to effectively navigate the complex landscape of medical innovation through training and workshops. We aim to create an ecosystem that encourages and guides the development of innovative healthcare solutions effectively.  

Together, we form a powerhouse of talent to create positive change in medical innovation and healthcare system.
