"Summer Surfing" Invitation: Call for Outstanding Digital Therapeutics Collaboration Cases for "Exploration of the Digital Therapeutics Industry"
2021 marked the inaugural year of digital therapeutics in China. Recently, the term “digital therapeutics” has appeared with increasing frequency in various healthcare industry conferences and reports, with interest in this field rapidly intensifying this summer!
In 2020, the pandemic served as a “catalyst,” accelerating the global development of digital therapeutics. Riding this wave, technologies such as big data, 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain have become more deeply integrated into the closed-loop healthcare ecosystem encompassing medical providers, patients, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and insurance. Driven by the catalytic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and strong support from digital health policies, digital therapeutics are opening up new frontiers in healthcare.
Digital therapeutics (DTx) products are validated by evidence-based medicine and built on application or artificial intelligence platforms. They can be integrated with wearable devices or medical devices to prevent, manage, or treat various diseases. DTx products can be utilized throughout the patient’s entire lifecycle, creating substantial opportunities for large-scale scenario-based applications in areas such as mental health, cognition, addiction cessation, diabetes, and respiratory diseases.
According to publicly available data compiled by VCBeat, there were over 70 digital therapeutics financing deals globally in the first half of 2021, with total funding exceeding $2.6 billion. THE EVIDENCE FORUM has further predicted that the digital therapeutics market size will grow tenfold within the next three to five years, potentially reaching $9 billion (approximately RMB 50 billion) by 2025.
The Blue Ocean of Digital Therapeutics Has Emerged! As one of the earliest institutions in China to focus on digital therapeutics, and as a supporting organization for the Digital Therapeutics Systems Engineering Professional Committee (Preparatory) of the China Association for Promotion of Rehabilitation Technology Transformation and Development—the first industrial association for digital therapeutics in China—VCBeat has been closely monitoring the transformative impact of digital therapeutics on the healthcare industry.
To better analyze the current state of digital therapeutics innovation in China and explore future innovative models, VCBeat and Eggshell Research Institute have jointly launched a call for outstanding collaborative case studies for “Exploring the Digital Therapeutics Industry” (tentative title), riding the summer wave of digital therapeutics!
