This enables the providers to adapt the care and indications to the patients, improving health outcomes and the efficiency of the system.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, there are more and more initiatives focused on understanding this view of the patient throughout the healthcare process and\/or after a procedure or intervention.

This facilitates <\/span><b>proper follow-up of the patient, personalizing the care and therapies to his or her health status<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These platforms also enable useful information to be sent to the patient, with the goal of <\/span><b>providing guidelines and recommendations to reduce those symptoms and events.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we want to take a further step in this work, we can opt for the development of <\/span><b>Digital Therapeutics (DTx)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that, in addition to all of the above,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4eyDWWwku4k&amp;t=181s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provide scientific evidence and have been clinically evaluated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and can be used either individually or in combination with other treatments.
