About Digital Therapeutics

The Digital Therapeutics Alliance defines Digital Therapeutics as products that “deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions to patients that are driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease.” Digital Therapeutics are sometimes referred to as “DTx” or as Prescription Digital Therapeutics, “PDT”. While there are digital therapeutics that are direct-to-consumer, most digital therapeutics are submitting the software to the FDA to clear as an SaMD, which stands for “Software as a Medical Device”.
