DATAcc by DiMe Announces project to Build Patient-Centered Digital Measures
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Austin, Texas – August 29, 2025 – TMF Health Quality Institute, a leading nonprofit health care consulting company, is proud to join other health care and technology leaders in supporting the Core Measures of Common Mental Health Disorders project created by DATAcc by DiMe.
Over half of U.S. counties lack a psychiatrist and 122 million Americans live in a mental health provider shortage area. For those who do get care, mental health is often measured with outdated, subjective tools that overlook a patient’s experience.
To address these issues, DATAcc by DiMe is creating the Core Measures of Common Mental Health Disorders project. This project will build objective, patient-centered digital measures applicable across disorders, backed by consensus and ready for real-world use.
The project will define a core set of objective, sensor-generated measures to:
- Reduce trial failure rates
- Personalize care with less guesswork
- Drive reimbursement tied to meaningful outcomes
The project’s inaugural partners include:
- American Psychological Association
- BetterHelp
- Callyope
- Cumulus Neuroscience
- Empatica
- emteq labs
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Feel Therapeutics
- Foundation for the National Institutes of Health
