prof. Ing. Peter Kneppo, DrSc., dr.h.c.

Peter has made a significant contribution to the development of medical device HTA in the Czech Republic. In 2009, he was instrumental in establishing the CzechHTA team and shaped its professional direction for many years. Under his leadership, the IGA grant of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic Evaluation of Medical Devices (2010–2014) and subsequently the Information System for tracking purchases of medical devices (2013–2014) were carried out. He also served as an evaluator of the effectiveness and pricing of medical technology for oncology and trauma centre projects under OP IOP for the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, as well as Horizon 2020 projects for the European Commission. In his professional work as a leader of expert teams at a forensic expert institute, he has long been dedicated to the management of medical technologies, the efficiency of their procurement, the assessment of their benefits, and compliance of their operation with legislative standards. Together with his PhD student Ilya Ivlev (ECRI USA, formerly a member of the CzechHTA team), he has published work in the field of multi-criteria decision-making methods, which has received considerable international recognition.
