Digital Mental Health Innovation Cluster (DMHIC) : Annual Report 2024–2025
Boyle, Joanne and Whyte, Anna
The Digital Mental Health Innovation Cluster (DMHIC), facilitated by the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) in 2022, continues to strengthen Scotland’s position as a leader in digital mental health. Covering August 2024 to July 2025, this report highlights growth in membership, governance, and activities that have advanced collaboration, knowledge exchange, and solution development. Membership expanded to 234 organisations, supported by a refreshed database. Six events at local, national, and international levels fostered engagement, while three reports set out research and innovation priorities for the sector. Progress was made in ADHD-related research and service innovation, and two funded projects deepened collaboration across academia, industry, and the third sector. Scotland’s leadership in digital mental health gained wider recognition at UK and international levels. Looking ahead, priorities for 2025/26 include strengthening partnerships, preparing for the 2026 Global Digital Mental Health Conference, and using ADHD research to drive service transformation.
