Sprint: Prescription DTx - Commercialization Models & Adoption

About this Meeting

In the past 2 years a wide variety of companies have co-opted the term “DTx” to describe their digital health offerings. In this meeting we want to focus on a smaller subset of this group: prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs), which are seen as the future of the DTx market. This series of 2 meetings to discuss with other senior leaders the following: 

  •  Session 1 (September 1st): Commercialization models Even though some PDT companies choose the traditional pharmaceutical pathway (salesforce-based), are Pharma-PDT partnerships the best efficient commercialization model for PDT companies? What are the alternatives? New consumer-focused telemedicine approaches to PDT distribution have recently entered the market. What are the pros & cons of this model?  How does the prescription pathway influence the product pricing? 
  •  Session 2 (September 21st): Adoption  As PDTs are edging closer to becoming incorporated into therapeutic arsenals, the seamless integration into conventional pathways still needs to be ironed out. How can digital health formularies and/or prescription platforms help in PDT adoption?  In some countries, there is prescription capability (e.g Germany, UK), but current prescription rates are still low. What are the next steps to increase PDT prescription and adoption?
