“Digitally enabled therapy is psychological therapy that is provided online or through mobile applications, with the support of a therapist. There is evidence to show that these therapies can achieve comparable outcomes to face-to-face therapy, when the same therapy content is delivered in an online format which allows much of the learning to be achieved through patient self-study, reinforced and supported by a suitably trained therapist, and also that many people prefer to access therapy in this way…NHS England is working with NICE to support a new digitally enabled therapy assessment programme, where up to 14 digital therapy products will be assessed for use in NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services by 2020. This will help expand provision of psychological therapies, as well as improving access to digital services, both goals set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health.”
