The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have launched a call for evidence on resources developed under the Wellcome-funded Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHT) programme.
The survey opened on 5 November 2026 and will remain open until 26 February 2027. It forms part of the programme’s Phase 1 evaluation, which is intended to assess how the resources have been received and used across the sector.
Feedback is sought from a broad group of stakeholders, including 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.
According to MHRA and NICE, the organisations are particularly interested in whether the materials have influenced users’ knowledge, confidence, decision-making and professional practice. The resources were created to support the safe development, regulation, evaluation and adoption of digital mental health technologies, including mental health apps and other digital tools.
Findings from the survey 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.
