ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) launched today to broaden the understanding, adoption, and integration of digital therapeutic solutions into mainstream healthcare through education, advocacy, and research.
Digital therapeutics represent a new generation of healthcare that uses innovative, clinically-validated disease management and direct treatment technologies to enhance, and in some cases replace, current medical practices and treatments.
DTA members and partners – including patients, healthcare providers, payers, academic institutions, technology organizations, and pharmaceutical manufacturers – will collaborate to:
"Digital therapeutics are at the forefront of a new era in healthcare. As the entire industry prepares for what's next, we are excited to represent digital therapeutics in this rapidly evolving environment, working with regulators, patient advocacy groups, providers, payers, and manufacturers," said Pierre Leurent, CEO, Voluntis.
DTx products receive regulatory clearance when used as a medical device, integrate into clinical practice, and tailor to patients' clinical needs, goals, and lifestyles.
"Our Alliance is dedicated to advancing novel platforms and solutions that improve patients' lives and add value to physicians, care teams, and the healthcare system," explains Anand K. Iyer, Chief Strategy Officer, WellDoc. "These tools are used in daily life to improve patient and provider visibility into complex treatment processes and simplify pathways to better outcomes."
"Digital therapeutics will significantly benefit individuals and communities by improving chronic disease care and treatment," said David Van Sickle, CEO, Propeller Health. "DTA actively encourages and supports companies working to develop, trial, and market digital offerings with meaningful clinical benefits."
Founding members include Akili Interactive, Propeller Health, Voluntis, and WellDoc.
"We encourage the continued growth of this industry through DTA's work and initiatives," said Sean Duffy, CEO, Omada Health, and DTA Strategic Advisor. "This specialized category of products emerged from the broader digital health category, and has quickly differentiated itself via companies' clinical fidelity, evidence-based approaches, policy engagement, and commitment to outcome-focused reimbursement."
