Avalere’s colleagues at Fishawack Health released a white paper on the role of digital therapeutics in increasing the value of medicinal assets, driving differentiation, and improving patient outcomes. This exclusive excerpt describes the myriad opportunities for stakeholders.

Opportunities in Digital Therapeutics

Digital therapeutics can help maximize the value of an asset. With the continued advance of technology and the increasing need for better, more efficient healthcare solutions, digital therapeutics are likely to play an increasingly important role in the future of medicine and digital health. A digital therapeutic offering can drive the development of an attractive value proposition and unique market differentiator, benefiting multiple stakeholders.

Benefits for Life Sciences Firms

• Differentiates assets positively in a crowded market with multiple competing mechanisms of action where first, second, and even third generations are all on the market simultaneously
• Drives clinical trial efficiency
• Provides an efficient way to collect data
• Maximizes the therapeutic potential of asset
• Provides more compelling data to regulators and payers to achieve more favorable access
• Increases stakeholder preferences for treatment option
• Helps maintain share after loss of exclusivity

Benefits for Payers

• Offers payers scalable and cost-effective intervention
• Provides improved clinical and health economic outcomes
• Provides new treatment options for diseases that may not be well managed presently
• Potentially decreases healthcare cost of medical interventions, due to improved outcomes and a reduction of in-person visits and hospital stays
• Enables the collection and integration of real-world data supporting population health outcomes
