Digital Therapeutics - Examples & History

As more and more digital health tools popped up, organizations like the FDA realized they needed to step in and make sure these tools were safe and effective. So, they started reviewing and approving digital therapeutics just like they do with traditional drugs. This way, doctors can confidently prescribe these digital helpers, and patients can trust that they're getting a safe and helpful treatment.

Digital therapeutics are software-based therapeutic interventions designed to prevent, manage, or treat various medical conditions. These products undergo rigorous clinical trials and regulatory review to ensure their safety and efficacy before they can be prescribed by healthcare providers.
