Digital mental health technology
The Wellcome Trust has funded a 3-year project focusing on effective regulation and evaluation of digital mental health technology.
The project will improve outcomes for people with mental health conditions by enabling access to safe and effective digital mental health technologies. This will be achieved by ensuring that digital mental health technologies are regulated through continuous evaluation to minimise risk.
MHRA is leading this project in partnership with NICE, and working with many different industry, medical and public experts such as:
- lived experience advisors
- patients and the public
- clinical experts
- academia
- industry experts
- UK and international policymakers
- regulatory bodies
- evaluation agencies
- charities
The results of this project will include various published guidance documents to make clear the regulation and evaluation of these technologies for patients, the public, healthcare professionals and developers.
