Abstract

Scotland’s Digital Mental Health Innovation Cluster (DMHIC) was established in March 2022 to drive the development, evaluation, and adoption of digital technologies in support of mental health service transformation. Governed by a multi-sector programme board and supported by an advisory board, the cluster aligns cross sector collaboration with national priorities and digital research and innovation (R&I) opportunities. Scotland’s Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) provides cluster management on behalf of the Scottish Government. This report captures the outputs from a DMHIC Advisory Board workshop held in August 2024. The Board met to consider how best to build a pipeline of collaborative R&I opportunities through the development and adoption of digital interventions to address priority mental health challenges in Scotland.
