Where are all the Digital Therapeutics?

For all the emphasis on digital therapeutics and mental health, very few interventions have been FDA cleared and gained market traction.

This article highlights three products that have been released to help with addiction, trauma and ADHD – all require a prescription.

The research is showing high efficacy, and no one can argue with the accessibility to care. So, many are anxious to see more DTx products on the market.

“As digital therapeutics continue to be integrated into the clinical space and recommended for mental health conditions such as SUD, PTSD, and ADHD, ensuring accessibility must be a top priority. Only then can the full potential of these technologies be unlocked.”

The process of developing and clearing new medical devices for use and reimbursement is a slow one. One day these treatments will be a key therapeutic option for patients, but we definitely have a ways to go.
