The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have opened a call for evidence to evaluate resources produced under the Wellcome-funded Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHT) programme.
The survey opened on 5 November 2026 and will close on 26 February 2027. It forms part of the programme’s Phase 1 evaluation and is intended to assess how the resources have been received and used across the sector.
MHRA and NICE are seeking feedback from developers and manufacturers of digital mental health technologies, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, regulators, people with lived experience of mental health conditions, carers and members of the public. They are particularly interested in whether the materials have influenced users’ knowledge, confidence, decision-making and professional practice.
The resources were developed to support the safe development, regulation, evaluation and adoption of digital mental health technologies, including mental health apps and other digital tools. According to MHRA and NICE, the survey findings will help determine whether Phase 1 outputs achieved their intended objectives and will inform the future direction of Phase 2.
Stakeholders are encouraged to take part whether they have engaged extensively, minimally or not at all with the existing resources. MHRA and NICE said the feedback will help identify strengths, highlight areas for improvement and shape future work aimed at improving the safety and effectiveness of digital mental health technologies.
