From Evidence to Impact

What evidence do we need, for whom, and when—and how can we generate it collaboratively so that it informs product development, investment, adoption and meaningful impact?

This MHIN meetup is delivered in partnership with Wellcome Trust.

This meetup will focus on evidence generation and evaluation for digital mental health solutions. Its purpose is to generate practical, constructive discussion about what evidence is needed, when it is needed and who it is ultimately for. This includes evidence required by providers and commissioners, evidence that responds to fund or grant requirements, and evidence that supports a company’s own product development, commercial positioning and intellectual property.

The discussion will explore the different routes companies can take, from pilots and service evaluations to formal trials, and how these choices influence the trajectory of a company and the adoption of the solution. It will also examine the practical realities of generating evidence through an in-house research team, an academic partnership or collaboration with a service delivery organisation. A consistent thread will be that there is no single evidence pathway that works for every company or every stage of growth.

In true MHIN style, we will bring together innovators, researchers, investors, funders and service-delivery stakeholders to examine practical choices in evaluation, impact measurement and research partnerships. We want to encourage diverse stakeholder perspectives so we can collectively recognise the different evidence needs of customers, investors and regulators; and identify practical next steps and potential research partners. The tone will be positive, honest and solution-focused, presenting evidence generation as a source of value rather than a compliance chore.
