Digital Therapeutics: the Essence
Digital therapeutics (DTx) aims at addressing health conditions using specifically designed and clinically tested technologies. Digital therapy solutions provide the functionality to:
Prevent diseases
For example, apps for patients with prediabetes.
Manage diseases
Among the common examples are an asthma management system that monitors medication adherence and identifies asthma triggers, and AI-based coaches to treat mental health conditions.
Custom digital therapeutics software can help handle a specific condition according to a dedicated tech-enabled therapy program. DTx apps bring value to patients who use them by providing access to unique and research-backed health management tools.
Architecture of a Digital Therapy Solution
Digital therapy products vary from standalone apps to complex solutions that include patient-facing software and connected medical devices.
Here’s a sample architecture of a digital therapeutics platform with a doctor-facing app and a patient-facing app that targets patients with diabetes:
Doctor-facing app contains:
List of patients with diabetes and their recent vitals (blood glucose, insulin intake, HbA1C).
Notifications on abnormal health parameters.
Treatment plan correction (basal insulin doses, diet, etc.).
Lifestyle info and blood tests correlation analytics.
