Digital Therapeutics : Strategic, Scientific, Developmental, and Regulatory Aspects

One of the hallmarks of the 21st century medicine is the emergence of digital therapeutics (DTx)—evidence-based, clinically validated digital technologies to prevent, diagnose, treat, and manage various diseases and medical conditions. DTx solutions have been gaining interest from patients, investors, healthcare providers, health authorities, and other stakeholders because of the potential of DTx to deliver equitable, massively scalable, personalized and transformative treatments for different unmet medical needs.Digital Therapeutics: Scientific, Statistical, Clinical, and Regulatory Aspects is an unparalleled summary of the current scientific, statistical, developmental, and regulatory aspects of DTx which is poised to become the fastest growing area of the biopharmaceutical and digital medicine product development. This edited volume intends to provide a systematic exposition to digital therapeutics through 19 peer-reviewed chapters written by subject matter experts in this emerging field.This edited volume is an invaluable resource for business leaders and researchers working in public health, healthcare, digital health, information technology, and biopharmaceutical industries. It will be also useful for regulatory scientists involved in the review of DTx products, and for faculty and students involved in an interdisciplinary research on digital health and digital medicine.Key Features: Provides the taxonomy of the concepts and a navigation tool for the field of DTx. Covers important strategic aspects of the DTx industry, thereby helping investors, developers, and regulators gain a better appreciation of the potential value of DTx. Expounds on many existing and emerging state-of-the art scientific and technological tools, as well as data privacy, ethical and regulatory considerations for DTx product development. Presents several case studies of successful development of some of the most remarkable DTx products. Provides some perspectives and forward-looking statements on the future of digital medicine.
