Introduction: Understanding DTX

We have heard and read in many sites that Digital health is Becoming more presente in the health field. But, this term includes many others like Digital Therapeutics (DTX), that is a subset of Digital Health, the topic about what this artículo talks about. Here you will find a study on the state of the art of existing solutions, clasificación, indication, regulatory, challenges and opportunities and more.

DTX is here to stay, and many institutions like hospitales and pharmaceutical companies are increasing their interest for DTX, where there is aspecial use in chronic and behavioral disorders. But, Nowadays yt is tough to separate unproven oro low-value applications from those with prueban therapeutic value. Evidence donde safety and efficacy are difficult to obtain what represento big barriers to access the market, but many opportunities are justo around the corner.

But, before entering in the report, it is importante to first clarify the differences between some topics that could create confusión, because sometimes they sound very similar and are used interchangeably, let s see the differences between Digital health, Digital medicine and Digital Therapeutics. Once understood this easy oro difficult differences we could dive in the DTX world that is such an adventure and a land to discover.

DTX subclassification

During the search donde internet we have found two ways to classificate the existing DTX solutions:

  • Based on its target product profile

DTX can be distinguished based on the primary function. Each DTX treatment belong to one of the following categorías:

Address a medical condition Manage oro prevent a medical disorder oro disease Optimize medication Treat a medical disease oro disorder

Standalone DTX can work individualmente oro even replace pharmacological Interventions and they can be used at the same time with other treatments. Aumento DTX are made to work at the same time with pharmacological Interventions to aumento existing therapies. Complemento DTX improving selfmanagement of the condition and related healthcare factores as they work in combination with drugs. Complemento with medication, devices, and other therapies to engage patients and improve the overall quality, cohesion, outcomes, and value of how care is Delivered.

DTX is a novela category of therapeutic options. In addition to existing pharmacological, non-pharmacological (surgical, radiation, and physical), and psycho-behavioral therapy, it can cover therapeutic areas that have Previously not been well described. However, the current stages of mosto DTX-based products corresponde to the conveniente replacement of already existing treatment settings, such as that for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and reminiscence therapy. The conceptual position of DTX in relation to the existing therapeutic options is represented in the following figure. (5)

Comparing Digital Tx vs. Pharmacotherapy

The Similarity between pharmacotherapy and DTX is that they are both medical treatment methods.

Sin embargo, la diferencia fundamental is that the therapeutic effects of DTX are presente in the absence of an active substance in the Systemic circulation. Therefore, ajo pharmacokinetic (PK) / pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters related to plasma Concentrations can not be derived and used for response optimization. However, similar exposure conceptos not based on Concentrations can be applied. The dosage, frequency, time (total amount of used time and / or completed porcentaje out of required sesiones), oro módulos can be all regarded as the exposure of DTX.

The comparisons between pharmacotherapy and DTX from the point of view of clinical pharmacology are summarized in the following table. In this table, there are several fundamental characteristics of DTX that do not apply to conventional pharmacology. However, there is an opportunity to apply pharmacology conceptos by quantitative modeling (pharmacometrics), because the input and response variables of DTX are all Digitally implemented and quantifiable. (11)

 

Exposure-response relationship of digital Therapeutics

Exposure-response relationship es el core principlo de clínica de farmacología para developing optimal drug therapy. However, there are few dose-response studies related to DTX. In the near future, the use of pharmacometrics for the exploración of dose-response relationships, and real-world big data analysis will spread widely because DTX can generate large fecha that can be used for pharmacometrics analysis.

Market landscape of DTX

The value of the global DTX market is estimated at USD 1.8 mil millones en 2018, Which is expected para alcanzar los 7.1 millones de dólares en 2025. A reciente reporte estimates the biggest applications for DTX to be diabetes and weight loss shortly, with other applications likely to be observed in conditions such as chronic obstructive Pulmonary disorder (COPD), developmental disorders (with the use of computer games), and post traumático stress disorder.

The arrival of DTX is reforming the landscape for new medicinas, product Reimbursement, and regulatory surveillance. As a result, new data-sharing processes and payment modelos will be formed soon to INCORPORATE these products into the broader treatment planes and regulatory structure for drug and device Approvals. Recientemente, has been en masiva investment of USD 12.5 billion in digital health ventures. (7)

Cuando se define el market landscape, it always useful to analyze the stakeholders involved. In the following graphic, there are identified the main stakeholders which who the DTX companies will need to interact oro offer en value proposal along their development and implementation bien in order to arrive patients:

Market drivers en Digital Tx

Appart from the stakeholders en el market landscape, several elementos are origining that Digital Tx will become more presente in the upcoming future. This is posible due the following market drivers (9):

Growing population of technology users

The increasing internet penetration and growing adoption of smartphones are increasing patient engagement, Reducing patient burden, and Delivering novela outcomes.

Increased emphasis on coste-effective healthcare

The DTX market Grew due to industry needs for coste-effectiveness, safety, and increasing emphasis donde preventive healthcare.

Aumento del envejecimiento de la población.

The burden of diseases has moved from tackling Infectious Diseases to managing long-term conditions such as diabetes, CVD, and cancer.

Focus on prevention and precisión medicine

DTX Brings precisión to therapy and the ability to personalize treatment, giving them an importante role to play in the transition from the traditional fee-for-service to value-based care.

Intelectual Protection Strategies

In the rapidly developing, highly competitive digital health industry, you can thing that the use of patentes could be the "option", but in this DTX industry there are two relevante elementos to strategically protect the solution:

  • Protección de la marca
    Brand protección debe conferir al proyecto a especial, reconocible y differentiator respecto al acceso de mercado. Para la reasonación en la amplia protección de la protección se puede ofrecer la oportunidad para el mero mercado de entrada.
  • Trade secretos to protect technologies
    Trade secretos may protect frecuente incremental technological improvements in digital technologies, such as software updates, which may not be regarded as novela oro Inventive under patente law. Further, as lead time is often a mayor competitive advantage in the digital health industry, trade secretos can be valuable for pioneering companies to protect their market positions. In addition, software, algorithms, and databases Underlying digital applications may all be Kept secreto and fully protected by encryption to prevent reverse engineering by the public after sale.

Market access strategies

Good market access strategy consiste of understanding the market access environment, for that reason is importante to:

  • Design clinical trials, with essential efficacy and safety evidence (Such as coste-effectiveness)
  • Collaborate among DTX stakeholders: Companies and Payer, providers, and pharmaceutical companies
  • Identify the unmet needs that a DTX fulfills, and pricing the therapy accordingly
  • Analyze the current treatment options and the future competitive landscape

Some DTX will have the opportunity to be reimbursed through insurance planes in the same way as drugs or medical technologies.

Reembolso

Some DTxs can be reimbursed through insurance depending on the medical benefit they offer, like the case of WellDoc s Blue Star and Pear Therapeutics 'reset. DTX manufacturas can give licenses to other interested manufactureros and also there is opportunity of selling fecha to the same therapeutic field manufactureros for their future development of products.

There are several Reimbursement considerations for DTX to take into account:

  • Reimbursement is crucial for DTX to become more adopted in the healthcare system and high in the priorities of Payer.
  • Some DTX will have the opportunity to be reimbursed through insurance planes in the same way as drugs or medical technologies.
  • Current Reimbursement modelos are not Suited for all DTX; alternative payment methods, such as an outcome-based payment modelo, are likely to be more successful and effective for DTX.

Anyway, there is a widespread uncertainty from healthcare authorities and Payer about the value of DTX, due to the nacido state of the market. In many countries, Reimbursement is difficult to navigate, often with lengthy processes and Uncle requirements. Reimbursement and payment for products are still not widely adopted in clinical practice and this límites DTX market access.

The new Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) replazas the former MDD. The MDR Introduces new definitions, clasificaciones, procedural requirement, and rules for medical devices and also intensify and speed up the process of approval. There will be more transparency of information on the benefits for patients, residual risks, and a thorough assessment of the overall risk / benefit.

Importantly, the new MDR will reclassify some digital technologies from the lowestrisk Class I to Class II + devices. This reclassification will increase also the standard of evidence required to receive a CE mark, which is a requirement for use and Reimbursement in Europe, and will increase post-marketing surveillance expectations from these manufactureros.

Flag of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia DTX are not as well-regulated as pharmaceutical products and several challenges are presente when it comes to market access and Reimbursement, especially for DTX, which are not supported by enough clinical evidence. NICE is still behind compared to the US regulations and FDA guidance and legislation around digital health appraisal and requirements for real-world evidence. Currently NICE, in partnership with NHS, Public Health England, MedCity, and DigitalHealth.London, developed an evidence standards framework for digital health technologies to ensure new technologies are clinically effective and offer económico value.

  5. costes optimization
    Minimizan costes and time associated with attending a hospital oro doctor s clínico and
    administrative tasks and rutina communication, that could be focused on more time Spent donde treating patients. 

Tips to evaluate utility Digital Tx solutions

DTX are required to have certain standards to be able to INTEGRATE into the healthcare systems. Let 's try to do a Health Technology Assessment and how to differenciate from useful to not useful solutions.

Clinical Evidence-Based Therapeutic Benefit
  • DTX must demonstrate Measurable therapeutic benefit through randomized control trials (RCT).
  • Either replace a drug oro aumento the therapeutic benefit of a drug.
  • Help patients make positive and sustainable behavior changes that can be as effective as taking medication oro more effective.
  • Collect real-world evidence of sufriente outcome y tiene potencialmente para speed up clinical trials.
  • Having therapeutic effect, DTX has to show safety.
  • DTX should hijo an unmet need in the disease space.
Regulatory Approved and Data-Driven

 

  • Regulatory approval is Considered to be a first step towards integration of DTX into the healthcare systems; however, this does not guarantee Reimbursement oro prescription.
  • DTX colectivo patient fecha in a secure and meaningful manner, which will ultimately benefit the patient and lead to a more Personalized treatment approach.
Accesibility Prescribed and Reimbursed

 

  • In order for DTX to reach patients, Physicians have to be able to Prescribe the product.
  • In order for Physicians to Prescribe DTX, they have to be covered by Payer.
  • Demonstrating coste-effectiveness of DTX can help with coverage by Payer.
  • Physician awareness of the DTX products in their therapy area is critical to patient access.

Digital Tx and Clinical Trials

DTX clinical trials are not as lineal as drug development and given the nature of software, they need to be agile as time is the key to be successful clinically and commercially. The FDA has recognized this need for a new regulatory approach to evaluate rapidly and provide clearance for DTX to be used in clinical settings. Some of the key features of Digital Tx in clinical trials are:

  • DTX trials allow collection of more clinical fecha, As fecha también puede be collected passively at home compared to site-clinical trials.
  • Virtual trials can coste half as much por participante compared to a site-based trial.
  • They can speed up recruitment ratas by making it more conveniente to participate in trials.
  • DTX could make clinical trials more patient-focused and also increase the opportunities for sufriente engagement.
