Today, the patient or user can now download a clinical-grade app on the phone, tablet, or computer and use it as a reliable mode of treatment for mental disorders such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, insomnia, and others. This technology is referred to as digital therapeutics and has become instrumental in increasing access to mental healthcare worldwide. Digital therapeutics aid in delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions to mental health patients that are carried forward by using high-quality software programs to manage, prevent or treat a medical disorder or disease. They can be used independently or incorporated alongside medications or other therapies to provide the best patient care and health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital therapeutics (DTx) utilize the best possible practices related to design, advanced technology, clinically validated data, usability, and data security. While some digital therapeutics products must be reviewed by regulatory bodies like the US FDA to support product claims concerning safety, risk, efficacy, and the intended use, many products such as mobile medical apps don\u2019t need the FDA approval as they don\u2019t come under its regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-growth-of-digital-therapeutics\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growth_of_Digital_Therapeutics\"><\/span><strong>Growth of Digital Therapeutics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the term \u2019<strong>digital therapeutics<\/strong>\u2019 was coined mainly in <strong>2012<\/strong>, the idea of technological application to deliver care is not something new. Just at the beginning of the digital age, researchers started assessing different ways that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/digital-therapeutics\">advanced digital technology<\/a> could be applied to various areas of human health. Over the past few years, several tech companies have developed software programs to support the treatment of numerous diseases and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of this decade, the advancements in technology alongside the growing usage of the internet is expected to unlock the potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/digital-therapeutics-in-medtech\">digital therapeutics in patient care<\/a> and health outcome to a much larger extent. Additionally, the rise in Investment and favorable policies by the government are also expected to make a huge impact on the Digital Therapeutics Market and the healthcare sector is anticipated to flourish with new opportunities. Many companies have successfully advanced their clinical development programs in the Digital Therapeutics landscape and are currently in the final stages of regulatory review and approval for their digital therapeutic products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space-1024x308.png\" alt=\"Major Mental Health Disorders Treated Utilizing the Digital Therapeutics Tools\" class=\"wp-image-17637\" width=\"1024\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space-1024x308.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space-150x45.png 150w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space-768x231.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15191200\/Key-Areas-for-Digital-Therapeutics-In-Mental-Health-Space.png 1318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Major Mental Health Disorders Treated Utilizing the Digital Therapeutics Tools<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digital_Therapeutics_for_Mental_Health_Treatment\"><\/span><strong>Digital Therapeutics for Mental Health Treatment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several early advancements in digital therapeutics were for treating various conditions concerning mental health and substance abuse. So far, they have focused on several proven treatment needs, such as technology to offer patients information and advice, support monitoring and behavior modification needs, broaden access to motivational support, and provide real-time evaluations of cognitive function. They can also significantly increase the amount of data accessible from individual and whole patient groups, allowing for quicker and more effective changes to treatment regimens and approaches. Other benefits of digital therapeutics have been demonstrated, including allowing patients to determine the speed of their therapy better and monitor their own progress, as well as lower expenses, less need for in-person treatments, and greater privacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there are various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/digital-therapeutics-in-medtech\">digital therapeutics products<\/a> available in the market for a wide range of mental health conditions. Some of the mental health conditions that are being treated with digital therapeutics are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attention_Deficit_Hyperactivity_Disorder_ADHD\"><\/span><strong>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of care for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd-pipeline-insight\">treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)<\/a> involves a variety of pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies, many of which have limits and undesirable long-term risk profiles. Digital therapeutics have the potential to represent techniques in treatment that give increased patient access, fewer side effects, and a reduced risk for addiction while promoting gains in cognitive abilities such as attention. Significant study in this field has focused on using video games as a kind of pleasant therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2020, the FDA approved <strong>EndeavorRx<\/strong> by <strong>Akili Interactive<\/strong>, a game-based digital therapy device for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd-market\">treating ADHD in pediatric patients<\/a> aged 8\u201312. This has mainly been advised for treating inattentive or combined-type <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd-epidemiology-forecast\">ADHD patients<\/a> who have shown an attention problem and is the first FDA-approved game-based therapeutic device for any condition. According to the FDA, this has improved attention as evaluated by computer-based testing. Moreover,<strong> <\/strong>Akili Interactive has also developed an interesting game, <strong>AKL-T01,<\/strong> which may serve as a type of treatment, lowering impulsivity and inattention while the child with ADHD plays. The FDA is currently reviewing the game. The game would be the first to be available only by prescription if approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-traumatic_Stress_Disorder\"><\/span><strong>Post-traumatic Stress Disorder<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is serious and devastating, occurring after a traumatic experience such as combat, an accident, a violent personal assault, or physical trauma such as an explosion. Approximately 8 million persons are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-market\">diagnosed with PTSD<\/a> each year in the US, and it is anticipated that 7\u20138% of the US population will suffer PTSD in their lifetime. Sixty-seven percent of persons exposed to mass violence suffer PTSD symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2018, <strong>Freespira Inc. (formerly Palo Alto Health Sciences, Inc.)<\/strong> gained FDA clearance for its flagship digital therapeutic, <strong>Freespira,<\/strong> as a treatment option for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-epidemiology-forecast\">patients diagnosed with PTSD<\/a>. Freespira is a drug-free 4-week treatment for PTSD, panic disorder, panic attacks, and other panic symptoms. Every day for 4 weeks, patients complete two 17-minute in-home sessions under the supervision of a registered healthcare practitioner. By training their breathing rate and exhaled carbon dioxide levels, the treatment assists the patient in stabilizing and normalizing aberrant respiratory patterns associated with these conditions. In a clinical investigation at the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System, the effectiveness of Freespira was assessed in veterans and non-veterans with PTSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the VA\/DOD Clinical Practice Guidelines, medication is no longer recommended as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-pipeline-insight\">first-line treatment for PTSD<\/a>. Compared to exposure-based therapies, Freespira helps patients avoid reliving traumatic memories, which is typical in exposure therapy treatment while lowering the need for experts and the long-term time commitment required with that type of therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Depression\"><\/span><strong>Depression<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile health (m-health) digital treatment might be the game changer in overcoming treatment hurdles in depression and mental health. These novel therapy approaches have been scientifically verified and provide a fresh viewpoint on the patient\u2019s experience and the ability to redefine standard treatment. In June 2021, <strong>Happify Health<\/strong> launched <strong>Ensemble,<\/strong> the first and only transdiagnostic prescription digital therapeutics for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/major-depressive-disorder-epidemiology-forecast\">treating patients with major depressive disorder (MDD)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/generalized-anxiety-disorder-gad-market\">generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)<\/a>. Ensemble is an AI-powered digital mental health coach software that uses exercises based on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology to manage the symptoms of MDD or GAD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, in November 2017, the FDA approved <strong>Otsuka\u2019s<\/strong> first-ever drug-digital tracking tool hybrid, created in conjunction with Proteus Digital Health for the US digital therapeutics for the depression market. <strong>Abilify MyCite<\/strong>, an Otsuka digital therapeutics or digital pill, combines Proteus Digital Health sensor technology with a version of Otsuka\u2019s best-selling mental health medicine Abilify, which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, apart from these, several other digital tools are available in the market to help people cope with depression. These include mobile applications, wearable devices, internet-based self-guides, online games, and others.

As per the deal, Boehringer will acquire exclusive global rights to CT-155, and the Click Therapeutics will receive an upfront payment and development funding and is eligible to receive additional clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones for a total deal value to Click Therapeutics of over <strong>USD 500 million<\/strong>, plus tiered royalties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Substance_Abuse\"><\/span><strong>Substance Abuse<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of harmful or hazardous psychoactive substances such as alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and opiates is referred to as substance abuse. The problem is growing at an unprecedented rate globally.&nbsp; Along with evidence-based behavioral or psychological management modes, several therapeutic medications are also available in the market to deal with substance abuse. Currently, many pharma giants are evaluating their potential pipeline therapies under different stages of clinical development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to medicational approaches, companies are also considering using digital therapeutics for substance abuse. For instance, <strong>Prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) <\/strong>can be used as face-to-face counseling that uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/substance-drug-abuse-epidemiology-forecast\">individuals battling substance abuse<\/a>. Digital Therapeutics-based CBT and contingency management are available 24\/7.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several MedTech giants and startups are working in the <strong>Digital Therapeutics for Substance Abuse<\/strong> space; however, only a few companies have received US FDA approvals. In the coming years, with the active participation of the key companies, advancements in technology, and rising awareness, several companies are expected to enter the Digital Therapeutics for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/substance-drug-abuse-market\">substance abuse market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pear Therapeutics<\/strong>, a leading MedTech giant working on developing and delivering clinically validated software, has received <em>de novo<\/em> marketing clearance for its <strong>reSET\u00ae&nbsp; prescription digital <\/strong>therapeutic from the FDA.&nbsp; <strong>reSET\u00ae<\/strong> provides CBT as an adjunct to contingency management for patients with substance use disorder who are enrolled in outpatient treatment under the supervision of a clinician. The FDA approval has opened new opportunities for the companies that wanted to invest in Digital Therapeutics as a treatment option for SUDs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anxiety\"><\/span><strong>Anxiety<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, people utilize smartphones for diverse usages and almost every part of their lives.
