Digital therapeutics is a class of evidence-based therapeutic interventions delivered through digital platforms, designed to prevent, manage, or treat medical disorders or diseases. As a research field, it investigates the clinical efficacy, safety, mechanisms of action, and implementation strategies of these software-based programs and devices. Key characteristics include rigorous clinical validation comparable to traditional medical interventions, often requiring regulatory oversight, and the utilization of patient-generated and sensor data to personalize and adapt treatment delivery, representing a significant advancement in healthcare delivery modalities.
