A consultation has begun on the decision to conditionally recommend the digital enabled therapies which address depression and anxiety disorders, including PTSD and body dysmorphia. Each of the digital technologies includes the support and involvement of an NHS Talking Therapies clinician and use CBT techniques.
The eight therapies are conditionally recommended while further evidence is generated. They are the 6th and 7th early value assessments to have been undertaken using a new NICE rapid assessment process that seeks to identify promising medical technology for rapid deployment into the NHS.
Combined, the therapies have the potential to help more than 40,000 people.
