While the term digital therapeutic may sound futuristic, these therapies are already a reality. As this new category of medicine continues to be integrated across the healthcare ecosystem, digital therapeutics will increasingly influence the way healthcare is delivered and consumed across the world.

Digital therapeutics (DTx) deliver to patients evidence-based therapeutic interventions that are driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease. They are used independently or in concert with medications, devices, or other therapies to optimize patient care and health outcomes.

“Not every app or technology in health care is a digital therapeutic.”

Digital therapeutics empower patients, clinicians, and payers with intelligent and accessible tools for addressing a wide range of conditions through high quality, safe, and effective data-driven interventions.

1. An introduction to DTx, what they are, what they are not, how they are regulated
2. Examples of DTx: disease states covered, medical claims made
3. Things to know if you are or if you would like to develop a DTx product
4. Hands on pre-design session
