Evidence generation plan for digital front door technologies to gather service user information for NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression assessments

5 Minimum evidence standards

There is some clinical evidence that suggests that the digital front door technologies support the pre-assessment process for accessing Talking Therapies services, and potentially offer time-savings during subsequent clinical assessments.

For new technologies, the committee has indicated that it may, in the future, be able to recommend technologies in this topic area that have evidence for:

  • clinical impact of the digital front door technologies compared with standard care for the pre-assessment to Talking Therapies services without digital front door technologies

  • intervention acceptance, usability, completion rates and uptake rates in different subpopulations

  • cost or time-savings resulting from resource use associated with the technologies.
