🌐 In the evolving landscape of digital health, rigorous evidence is key to gaining regulatory approval and ensuring patient safety. Click Therapeutics exemplifies how adopting methodologies akin to drug approval can set a new standard for regulatory success. Click Therapeutics, Inc. successfully navigated the FDA process by employing a rigorous methodology similar to that used for drug approval. This approach not only demonstrated high evidence rigor but also showcased market innovation. By pairing their product, which had no reported treatment-related adverse events in trials, with a leading antidepressant medication, they utilized a novel commercial model. 💡 Click Therapeutics’ approach highlights the importance of rigorous evidence in digital health, setting a benchmark for future innovations in the industry. TL;DR: Adopting drug-alike evidence standards assures regulators of a product's safety and effectiveness, facilitating smoother approval processes. 🔗 Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4cWcamN

🧸 Pediatric digital health innovation is challenging. High development costs and a limited commercial market size often deter companies from entering into this under-resourced space. However, the need for specialized solutions for children is paramount. 🔬 Developing digital health technologies (DHTs) for children involves overcoming unique anatomical and physiological differences from adults, requiring tailored design and rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness. But it can be done. Gabi SmartCare achieved priority market authorization and is now collaborating with over 30 children's hospitals across the US. How did they do it? Gabi SmartCare understood the importance of regulatory pathways that recognize and support innovations addressing high-patient needs, giving the organization priority market authorization. 💡 The takeaway: innovating in markets that solve for underserved, high-patient needs can open a gateway to regulatory success. 📘 Read more here: https://bit.ly/4cWcamN

💡 You’ve heard the term virtual first care (V1C), but you’re unsure about what it means and how it differs from #telemedicine. Let us help you differentiate between the two. 📞 While considered a part of V1C, telemedicine consists primarily of #virtual appointments and focuses on clinical care delivery. Telemedicine's approach to patient care is quite narrow - limited to a few passive recommendations when needed, leaving very little, if any, ongoing support or resources for the patient to engage with. 🌐 V1C, on the other hand, offers more specialized, comprehensive, and continuous care. For example: ▪️ V1C encompasses a broader range of #healthcare services, including clinical and non-clinical interactions. ▪️ V1C utilizes diverse, robust, and fit-for-purpose solutions with a holistic, hands-on approach to patient care. ▪️ Patients are offered personalized care plans, a care management team, coaching, and other educational resources that foster a trusting relationship with their providers and support active engagement and increased agency over their health and quality of life. By understanding the distinction between V1C and telemedicine, we can begin to appreciate V1C's transformative potential in tackling healthcare's most pressing challenges, including access, cost, quality, and equity. 📚 Do you want to learn more about V1C, its potential to build the next generation of healthcare delivery, and the latest news and updates from the industry leaders who make it possible? 👉 Follow the V1C Coalition by DiMe page 📰 Sign up for our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/e7F-vYcm

🛌 Imagine this: You're reading your sleep data and discover you're not sleeping well. Anxiety kicks in, and the cycle of sleepless nights continues! We’ve all been there. Interpreting sleep data accurately and guiding the public on how to do so is essential as we work to improve this cornerstone of health for patients everywhere. 📊 Our latest published findings from a workshop dive into the future of digital sleep measurement, emphasizing the need for standardized, #patientcentric, and clinically relevant digital sleep assessment tools. A few highlights: ▪️ Home-based assessments provide a more accurate reflection of nightly sleep patterns and are more accessible to patients. ▪️ We must study wakefulness as much as sleep. ▪️ Significant time and resources are necessary to develop robust measurement strategies and evidence. 💤 Improving how we understand, measure, and treat sleep issues through digital health technologies can give patients a more realistic view of their sleep data, help them get more sleep, and enhance their quality of life. Less sleepless nights? Yes, please! 📖 Read the findings here: https://bit.ly/46FSXDx
