Treat it like a house move...

1. Get in the experts
2. Do all the relevant checks (ESF etc.)
3. Undertake your survey (or study)
4. Don't worry if it takes time
5. Remain evidence-based
6. Exchange (share) your findings

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@OrchaHealth #orchainsights from personal experience this is liking asking who people's favourite power ranger is? They all do different things, and have different approaches.

1. ORCHA adapted ESF and NICE-ESF great for effectiveness
2. DTAC less so, but good for Data security
3. Others?

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@OrchaHealth Also, don't try to do EVERYTHING, do one thing (one outcome), or a small number of complimentary outcomes WELL. Then iterate, design a follow-up & accept that things move fast in this space. The more you do in one go, the more you have to lose if the space (or your DHT) moves on

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@OrchaHealth #orchainsights
1. Make sure that what you are collecting can approximate evidence
2. Have a comparator
3. Use in realistic conditions
4. Don't go mad, just do what is necessary #NICEESF
5. If possible, consider the impact of confounders

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@NigeBrokenshire @OrchaHealth #orchainsights this is really interesting, & makes a lot of sense. No one-size-fits-all in digital health, we need an 'evidentiary profile' which specifies who it impacts every stakeholder. Like the old market access approach of highlighting impact on Patients, Payers, Policy...

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@TimAndNews @OrchaHealth #orchainsights "intention-to-treat +", gaining information regarding real-world use and the factors behind it, the "why?" rather than simply the "what?" Like it! @TimAndNews you should probably trademark that...

[Simon Leigh @DigitallySimon]

@TimAndNews @OrchaHealth #ORCHAinsights it's an interesting principle, grounded in not 'gilding the lily', the cost of making the wrong decision (in terms of health consequences) for a yoga app, is likely less severe than for an insulin calculator. Therefore the ROI on an RCT for a yoga app<RWE

[ORCHA @OrchaHealth]

Q4. How would you define suitable evidence for digital health technologies?
