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