• Growth Factors: This spectacular growth will be driven by the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the US, allied with recent initiatives to expand digital therapeutics coverage and cost reimbursement, such as the newly introduced Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act.
• Platform Consolidation: The research predicts the leading digital therapeutics vendors will pivot from condition-specific therapeutics towards therapeutics that target multiple conditions; enabling patients and clinicians to target chronic conditions and associated comorbidities within a single solution, as opposed to several non-interoperable therapeutics by competing vendors.
• Lack of Interoperability: The report warned that few digital therapeutics solutions are interoperable with larger healthcare systems; reducing their effectiveness and ability to drive improvements in patients’ healthcare outcomes. It warned that vendors must prioritise interoperability, with larger healthcare industry standards such as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources.
