The Digital Therapeutics (DTx) market is growing exponentially via the introduction of software and device-based interventions that heal, manage, and prevent the incidence of chronic and neurological diseases. DTx incorporating wearables, sensors, and remote monitoring, opens the door for patient-centric, affordable, and scalable health care solutions that heighten patient adherence, lower hospital workloads, and remove geographical barriers, thus radically changing the health care delivery function into a more patient-empowered and technology-driven system.
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
Increase in Geriatric Population: Digital therapeutics are experiencing a surge in demand as the world’s aging population continues to rise because the elderly are the main users of such technologies as they are typically faced with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental disorders; DTx is offering non-invasive, simple, and affordable solutions for the treatment of these diseases, as well as the improvement of health, and the reduction of the cost of health care.
Challenges
Strict regulations requirements, worries about data privacy and security, lack of proper reimbursement, and lower awareness or usage of patients and healthcare professionals are listed as few of numerous barriers that hold back the digital therapeutics market growth. Such impediments can be barriers that prevent the integrated use of digital therapeutics in the traditional health care systems.
Innovation and Expansion
ATA Action Acquires Digital Therapeutics Alliance to Form a New Coalition
In April 2025, The American Telemedicine Association announced this week that its lobbying group, ATA Action, has acquired the Digital Therapeutics Alliance, which focuses on increasing the adoption of software-based healthcare products. They plan to form an advocacy organization, the Advancing Digital Health Coalition, to help ensure that telehealth, virtual care, and DTx interventions become reliable care delivery options.
The Advancing Digital Health Coalition will push for revolutionary patient care technologies and expand on the DTA’s work, with an emphasis on digital therapies, prescription drug use-related software, digital mental health treatment devices, and remote monitoring.
Otsuka Precision Health has Launched the First Digital Therapeutic for Depression
In August 2024, Otsuka’s digital health subsidiary has released its first product, an app-based treatment for serious depressive disorders. The app, Rejoyn, is only available by prescription and is intended to be used in conjunction with drugs. It is a six-week curriculum that includes video courses based on cognitive behavioral therapy and emotional identification exercises.
The software promises to alleviate depression symptoms by asking users to recognize and remember emotions depicted in a sequence of faces, which Otsuka believes can target neural connections required to understand emotions.
