Why Mental Health? • Mental health problems affect 1 in 4 people • Huge economic cost to UK - £105bn per year • Greatest cause of health related disability in UK • High unmet need with little technological innovation • Subjective clinical assessment dominates practice • Lack of historical engagement with SMEs
Why Now? • £30bn NHS funding gap by 2020 requires transformational change • Demand for more flexible, person-centred care and self- management • Advances in computer science and bio-engineering • Rapid growth in smart technologies • Britain is ready for digital mental health
MindTechAims To accelerate the clinical needs-led development and adoption of innovative technologies in mental healthcare that transform service delivery, enhance patient experience and improve clinical outcomes
The View From Industry “The MindTech HTC is truly exciting, it offers us the prospect of producing great science with leaders who have a profound desire to transform clinical practice. This combination will unlock the doors restricting the adoption of our technology within the NHS.” Tony Doyle, CEO QbTechLtd
