Evidence Generation for Standalone DTx

About this Meeting

Standalone digital therapeutics (DTx) solutions are not comparable to drugs or standard treatment protocols. However, since they claim to treat medical conditions and there are no DTx standardized frameworks, the evidence requirements for standalone DTx are often the same as traditional medical treatments. This is challenging for small companies that don’t have the financial resources, and it doesn’t make much sense considering the iterative nature of these treatments. So, what are the best evidence generation strategies for standalone DTx manufacturers?  

Join this meeting to share your experiences and learn from others about: 

  • How do we align the evidence generation plan with the commercial and regulation strategies from the early days? What are the differences in evidence requirements between prescription and non-prescription standalone DTx? How does this determine whether or not the company takes the prescription route? 
  • What internal capabilities and/or partnerships does a standalone DTx manufacturer need to build an efficient and effective evidence generation strategy?  
  • Most companies struggle to show long-term evidence when payers ask for it. Are there any techniques or studies that can help address this? How can we use extrapolation correctly to show long-term evidence without waiting for the product to be in the market for five years? 
  • NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) recently recommended offering Sleepio as an effective alternative to sleeping pills. What level of evidence is needed to meet goals like this? What can we learn from this example from an evidence generation perspective? Is Big Health the example to follow?
