Digital Mental Health Intervention Evaluation and Optimisation Network
Our Vision
We're developing a pioneering collaborative initiative that bridges the gaps between academia, healthcare, technology, regulation and users to enhance how digital mental health solutions are developed, implemented, and evaluated.
By creating a shared evaluation approach, we aim to enhance the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of digital mental health tools for all.
What We're Building Now
Mapping the Ecosystem
We have mapped the different types of work being undertaken within the digital mental health landscape, with optimisation and evaluation appearing as gaps.
We are now identifying and engaging key players across sectors to ensure diverse perspectives inform our work. We're positioning our network to strengthen and connect efforts rather than duplicate them.
Continuous Improvement for Better Impact
Once a digital mental health tool launches, the real work begins.
Optimisation means constantly improving your product based on what you learn from real users and research. This ongoing process helps ensure your tool truly meets people's needs and creates meaningful change. By making improvements gradually and tracking how they affect user engagement and outcomes, you can maximise your tool's public health impact.
Evaluation informs Optimisation and various types of evaluation provide insights for ongoing improvements. Our hub aims to support knowledge sharing and helps develop best-practice guidelines to ensure digital mental health solutions are effective, safe, equitable, and cost-effective.
