About this project

The NIHR Innovation Observatory in Newcastle is working to enhance access to and provision of digital interventions to promote wellbeing and good mental health among children with disabilities. The project seeks to provide a visual overview of what interventions exist, what they are trying to improve and for whom, aiming to help understand where children with disabilities can be supported through digital means and better tailor these interventions so they match the needs and priorities of children. The work is being informed by engagement workshops with children, family members and carers and an analysis of the evidence around interventions and where the gaps lie. The intention is to boost awareness of existing and emerging digital interventions for wellbeing and mental health and inform and shape future products and innovation in this area, with the team able to feed this insight in to innovation funders.
