Specifically, patients have changed their <\/span><b>behavior, opting more and more for digital solutions that allow them to participate in their own health care<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as we mentioned in the article \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/blog\/has-the-growth-of-digital-health-changed-patient-perception\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has the growth of Digital Health changed patient perception?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has sped up the development of certain elements that, although gaining in familiarity, had not become firmly established in the sector.

The benefits to the patients include the <\/span><b>improvement of their health after increasing the access to safe and clinically-effective therapies, and empowerment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from<\/span><b> self-managing their health. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, this type of technology has increased <\/span><b>the ability of physicians to address diseases by making the treatment process more accessible <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the patients. In addition, from the perspective of industry, as mentioned in the article<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/life-sciences-and-health-care\/articles\/digital-therapeutics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Therapeutics. Improving patient outcomes through convergence&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the DTx products allow for <\/span><b>differentiation of products with a minor investment of capital, extension of the product life cycle, and filling gaps in the market for traditional medicine.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these elements have come together to convert digital therapies into a resource with significant potential in prevention, management, and treatment of diseases, <\/span><b>mainly in chronic diseases<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that require continuous monitoring of the patient and his or her treatment, helping to make this long-term process more efficient. This has led to notable growth in the market, as mentioned in the Deloitte article referenced above: \u201cThe global digital therapeutics market currently <\/span><b>generates annual revenue of $3.4 billion and this is projected to reach $13.1 billion by 2026,\u201d thus becoming one of the markets with the most growth.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, it can be confirmed that DTx products are already important performers in the Digital Health industry. Their scope will increase and expand as guidelines are published for their development, commercialization, and use. The combination of these factors, along with a market that is seeking more of this type of product every day, will ensure that the products continue to show the potential enormous impact of these therapies. We can say that DTx products have arrived to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DigitalTherapeutics?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#DigitalTherapeutics\u00a0<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DTx?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#DTx\u00a0<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/digitalhealth?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#DigitalHealth<\/span><\/a><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4>Share<\/h4>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.8&#8243; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Tarek Milla&#8221; position=&#8221;Business Development&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Tarek-Milla-scaled.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tarekmilla\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Persei vivarium<\/p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The promotion of the digitalization of health as a result of COVID-19 has made Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence valuable allies for the management of diseases.
