I am a researcher at the University of Sheffield, working with XXXXX and others on an NIHR-funded project researching the use of digital health technologies for people living with Type 2 Diabetes and anxiety/depression (NIHR304983). We are carrying out a survey of Integrated Care Boards in England to identify digital interventions used to support people with Type 2 Diabetes and depression/anxiety in each area.

We would like to include the NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board in our survey and wonder whether it would be possible for someone within your organisation to provide us with this information. I would therefore be grateful if you could forward this query to the appropriate person.

Essentially, we are wanting to find out what Digital Health Technologies are available to people within the ICB area with Type 2 Diabetes, anxiety or depression, whether they are funded directly by the ICB or not. We’d ideally like to collate information on who funds/commissions each DHT, so that we can build our knowledge of which DHTs are available in which ICB areas, and how these are funded (please see the attached information template). We would be very grateful for any help you can provide for this.

We are defining DHTs as any health technology that requires the use of a computer, smartphone or tablet. This includes health apps, websites where the user needs to input information about themselves, and wearable devices.
