Abstract
Digital therapeutics (DTx) have emerged as an innovative modality in managing chronic diseases by leveraging technology to deliver evidence-based interventions. This manuscript explores the business perspective of digital therapeutics within chronic disease management. We review literature up to 2020, discuss the underlying methodologies applied to assess digital interventions, and present a survey-based study combined with statistical analysis to gauge the economic, clinical, and operational impacts of DTx adoption. Our findings suggest that digital therapeutics not only improve patient outcomes but also drive cost efficiencies for healthcare providers and payers. The business implications are significant, underscoring the potential for scalability and integration into traditional healthcare systems. This study provides strategic insights for stakeholders considering investment in digital therapeutics.
