The Digital Health Measurement Collaborative Community (DATAcc) by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe), in which Depression Grand Challenge team members participated, released a report on Feb. 4, 2025, detailing evidence-based, actionable recommendations to drive interest, investment, and direction for sensor-based digital health technology research and innovation.

The Perspective, “Advancing digital sensing in mental health research,” draws on insights, findings and related reports generated from the 2023 Workshop on Advancing Digital Sensing Tools for Mental Health, hosted by UCLA and sponsored by Wellcome, the National Institute of Mental Health and the DGC.
Leading mental health and computer science researchers, industry experts, advocates and funders who participated in the Digital Sensing Workshop held at UCLA in the winter of 2023 are seeking additional review and input from colleagues and other stakeholders for a shared vision, common standards and recommendations they created to facilitate the use of digital sensing technologies in mental health research.

An overview of the STAND Coach Program, a component of the STAND system of care, was published in the journal JMIR Mental Health. The papers' authors present the STAND Coach Program as a solution to the “tension between the scalability and fidelity” of mental health services, particularly services that rely on professionals like coaches to support the delivery of treatment modules.
