Title: The Digital Technology Assessment Criteria: embedding baseline standards for procuring digital technology

Synopsis: In February, we introduced the DTAC to help give staff, patients and citizens confidence that the digital health tools they use meet our clinical safety, data protection and cyber security standards. All digital health technologies (including apps) that are being trialled, purchased, embedded into pathways, or advocated to patients need to pass the DTAC prior to or at the point of commissioning or buying these technologies. Lauren Harkins will give an overview of the DTAC, and will explain how it can be used by local teams to ensure digital health technology meets the national minimum baseline standards.
