Wellmind media: evidence for the equal efficacy of online and offline therapies
Richard Latham, CEO, Wellmind Media
A review of published research on the effectiveness of the online therapies, Be Mindful which delivers mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and Pathway through Pain which delivers the intensive pain management programme (PMP). The efficacy of these online interventions is compared with their offline equivalents and we explore what aspects of online therapy might be outweighing its drawbacks.
The digital evolution: transforming online mental health services
James De Bathe, Commercial Director, Big White Wall
Using digital to increase access to psychological treatment; reaching more people, improving efficiency and delivering excellent patient outcomes can have a fundamental impact on transforming service delivery. James explores the shift from standalone digital tools to integrated digital pathways and why services can’t afford to ignore the inevitable digital evolution.
Catch them early: developing emental health competences during clinical psychology training
Dr Helen Pote, Clinical Director & Deputy Programme Director, Royal Holloway – University of London
The most effective way to ensure clinicians understand the potential of eHealth is by embedding it in their training. There is no current consensus on how best to achieve this in mental health. The presentation outlines innovative attempts to address this within a clinical psychology training programme.

The IESO method: using data in volume to drive clinical outcomes
Sarah Bateup, Clinical Director, Ieso Digital Health
CBT delivered via synchronous written communication has enabled us to learn more about therapist variables and how these correlate with clinical outcome.

Innovations in digital e-interventions: using online research to systematically IMPROVE interventions for depression
Professor Ed Watkins, Director of SMART Lab, University of Exeter. Introduction by Fennie Wiepkema, Director UK at Minddistrict
There are two key challenges to tackling the burden of depression. Firstly, improving access to effective interventions and secondly to better understand how therapy actually works to make it more potent and cost-effective. This presentation explores innovations from internet CBT research which begin to address these challenges. Evidence that online CBT can prevent depression in at risk adults and young people (e.g., MindReSolve) will be followed by unpacking the active ingredients of internet CBT for depression in an ongoing – IAPT embedded – factorial trial known as IMPROVE.
eHealth Summit Prism 2106
Chris Eldridge, Director of Operations, Mayden
Two of the major challenges facing services when looking into eHealth are the security of patient data and the lack of integration making administrative arrangements time consuming and at risk of error. Prism is an online therapy referral hub, created to address these issues. Project progress is shared in this presentation, along with details of how iaptus services can get involved.
