Digital Therapeutics: Preventing, Managing, and Treating Disease

Though the concept of digital therapeutics (DTx) has been around for the past 10 years, it has only gained prominence in the last 2–3 years. DTx is a concept of delivering technology-driven, evidence-based care and interventions that can prevent, manage, or treat a medical disease or disorder. The concept is developed with the right objective of enabling predictability in therapeutic output, speeding up recovery, and preventing disease progression (see Figure 1).
