This is the UK’s leading national show exploring the technology being developed for mental health care.
Realising the potential of digital therapies to widen access to evidence-based treatments is a key ambition; made more relevant than ever by the pandemic.
In the UK there is a rapidly developing mental health technology sector, with a range of different applications and technology types. At times it is difficult to determine which technologies are generic well-being applications and which are evidence based, health and care specific and likely to be prescribed by a doctor. Marketplaces such as the NHS app store have made technology more accessible than ever.
Also, with COVID-19, further major co-ordination of mental health care and support is needed, for both patients and practitioners.
This vital national conference will clearly define the different types of technology enabling mental health care provision, map the sector’s developers and technology providers, and showcase some of the innovative technologies being developed, and provide an opportunity to learn from a range of tech providers developing solutions for improved mental health care and outcomes.
We are dedicating The Mental Health Tech Show to all the Mental Healthcare workers in the UK, and the mental health tech innovators and forward thinking mental health sector leaders from the healthcare sector, science, technology, and academia; everyone who’s passionately committed to improving the mental health of people around the world.
If you are involved or interested in the world of mental health and tech innovation, The Mental Health Tech Show is for you.

People with a long-term mental health conditions lose their jobs every year at around double the rate of those without a mental health condition. This equates to 300,000 people – the equivalent of the population of Newcastle or Belfast.
“As smartphones become universal, they will act as a platform for other technologies, including apps, social media, telemedicine, VR and AR…They will become a significant channel through which to access mental healthcare and advice.
Between 2000-2014, people reporting self-harm has increased by 62% and suicidal thoughts by 30%, with LGBTQ and BAME groups being most affected.
Though mental health problems represent 28 per cent of the disease burden in the United Kingdom, this area accounts for only 13 per cent of NHS spending. Only one third of people suffering from mental illness receive formal treatment, with a lack of available services playing an important role in creating this care gap.
