Everything has turned its face towards automation and digitalization. Digitalization has made access to human palms and now every facility is one click away. Likewise, therapy has been digitalized in the past years. This digital therapy is leading toward a revolutionized future of healthcare. Amid Covid-19 these advancements are more potential and groundbreaking. 

Digital treatment or therapy is the utilization of programming, versatile applications, wearables, and other computerized procedures to treat different clinical problems. These gadgets and strategies are known as digital therapeutics. This article aims at informing about the future of healthcare in terms of digital therapy and digiceuticals. 

Digiceuticals

            Digiceuticals are also called computerized therapeutics, or advanced wellbeing instruments and administrations. The thought behind them is that they can assist you with working on your wellbeing by assisting you with required treatment, updates on your regular health, and required changes in lifestyle. Some digiceuticals are utilized related to prescription, while others are intended to keep you fit and healthy. It comes with lower costs and no risk of possible secondary effects as one can face in taking pills.

            The term advanced therapeutics is nothing new. FDA had endorsed Pear’s reSET application as the first clinical application in 2019. It was for the treatment of individuals who were experiencing side effects of tablets. Versatile application advancement organizations are as of now buckling down on growing such applications.

Future of digital therapy

            The future of digital therapy or healthcare will soon be covering the technology that organizes data on a patient’s medical history, health insurance, and financial status. By considering all these factors digital applications will be able to suggest the best possible way to improve patient health.

Electronic Health Records

            Researchers are hopeful that there will be much improvement in the integration of electronic health records (EHR) that will compile the whole medical history of the patient. The assistant will be able to make a clear diagnosis and develop the most suitable health plan in minutes. Health profiles are one of the most potential health assets in the digital era. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

  Cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT is used for the awareness and coping techniques for mental health. These techniques include resilience, coping, rehabilitation, stress management, relaxation, and assertiveness. Through mobile applications and digital access to the quick mental health help desk, cognitive-behavioral therapy is now most digitized. Digital CBt is a form of online and merged form of mental health therapies and treatments. Ths digital CBT is performed with the help of advanced applications and cognitive professionalism. 

How does it work?

            Digital therapy is also advancing through behavioral intervention for diabetes through a social network, which includes a curriculum, health guidance, and support from people to boost morale. This program helps in keeping track of people’s nutrition, activity, and IBM weight. Digital biomarkers, and portable health monitoring devices are examples of digital medicines.

            Computerized treatment isn’t completely the same as clinical and personal restorative medications. Most advanced treatment rehearses depend on the mental conduct treatment strategy. It centers around further developing the patient’s conduct and way of life by designing healthily.  

A portable application itself can set the therapy plan, prescription, appointments, and the patients simply need to follow it. Furthermore, the patients can likewise see their advancement and betterment in health through the application. Also, the controlled chart of healthcare is additionally used to give a standard chart.

Works with the drugs and far-off therapists

            Other than computerized therapeutics as an independent technique, it tends to be utilized as a combination of drugs and in-clinic medications also. The actual application can allow the patients to cooperate with a far-off specialist or therapist. Or then again the application can be the expansion of the in-person treatment strategy to keep the patients occupied with everyday practice through warnings and updates too.

Computerized treatments are by and large divided in two ways.

·         Medicine expansion

·         Drug substitution

            These techniques are prescribed according to the patient’s condition. For certain patients, the treatment begins with a prescription and afterward makes the change to suggest medicine as a substitution.

Ongoing researches

            The value of the global digital therapeutics market is estimated at USD 1.8 billion in 2018, which is expected to be as high as USD 7.1 billion by 2025. As proper research about virtual reality is going on to tackle post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). And also the treatment of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) through video games, is under research.

            One more way to progress in digital therapeutics is to make the actual pills report when they are taken. Savage, Proteus’s fellow benefactor, and specialist Andrew Thompson, with their associates, have fostered an ingestible sensor that can be consolidated into pills. The sensor is the size of a grain of sand and covered on one side with copper and on the other with magnesium. 

At the point when a pill is gulped, the fluid in the stomach interfaces the different sides, producing an electrical sign that can be gotten by a sensor fix worn on the individual’s skin. An advanced record is conveyed to a portable application and, with the individual’s assent, imparted to medical services suppliers.

Conclusion

            The only barrier digital therapy can face is that there is a handsome investment of millions of dollars, approximately 320,000 (as noted in 2019). A large number of applications are available on the app store without any approval from the FDA. For patients as well as medical professionals, it is tough to distinguish between fake applications from those with therapeutic approval.

In short, a definitive point of computerized treatment is to make the patients agreeable to resolving their issues and treat those issues with no outer push. 

So when the patients feel like they are in good company, it sets the ground for continuous improvement in their psychological dependability. Thus, most would agree that computerized treatment is setting down deep roots in the field of medicine, such as personalized and accurate recommendations of medicine. The concept of healthcare is increasingly becoming more digital.
