Digital Therapeutics 101
Digital therapeutics, also known as eHealth or mHealth, refers to the use of software and technology to prevent, manage, and treat rare and chronic diseases. This includes a wide range of products such as mobile apps, digital programs, and remote monitoring devices that are used to improve patient outcomes, increase patient engagement, and reduce healthcare costs.
One of the key advantages of digital therapeutics is the ability to deliver targeted and personalized treatment to patients. For example, a digital therapeutic app can provide real-time tracking of symptoms and medication adherence, making it easier for healthcare providers to monitor and adjust treatment plans as needed. Additionally, digital therapeutics can also provide patients with educational and self-management feedback resources, helping them to better understand and manage their condition.
Digital therapeutics also have the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. For example, a study by the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that digital therapeutics can lead to a reduction in healthcare costs and an improvement in patient outcomes for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure. The use of digital therapeutics can also reduce the need for in-person visits to healthcare providers, making healthcare more accessible to patients in remote or underserved areas.
