IT & Digital Innovation Award

A Digital Recovery Platform for Severe Mental Illness : City and Hackney ICP, North East London CCG, East London FT, The Advocacy Project, Core Sport

The digital pathway supports people with severe mental illness to plan and manage their own care, supported by a platform that brings all the tools together in one place allowing the patient to dynamically interact with the people and organisations involved in their care and to move seamlessly between organisations with the same plan and set of tools. This was a collaborative partnership between primary and secondary care, the voluntary sector, patients and external technology partners to address the long standing issue of the lack of capacity to reach SMI need, combined with difficulties of supply caused by the pandemic.
