patient wants to do because it is compelling,
and not merely because it is
recommended.
Making DTx Compliance Compelling
The DTx method of therapy has
proven to be very effective when patient
adherence is high; unfortunately,
on average, only 10 percent of patients
engage with their digital
therapeutic devices after the first
week of treatment.
Patient compliance has long been a
major issue when considering how to
make an effective and accessible digital
therapeutic treatment, and certainly a
big part of why DTx has struggled to
take hold. Even if a developer can create
a clinically proven, reimbursable,
functional therapy (no easy feat), it's
rendered useless if the patient won't
engage with it.
Human beings simply aren't wired
for longitudinally taking care of themselves;
we engage with the things that
we find interesting and intrinsically
motivating. Simply knowing that
something is " good for us " isn't a catalyst
for changing our behavior. An effective
therapy must be something a

A Novel Approach
The FDA recently cleared DeepWell's
software development kit (SDK), allowing
commercially popular games and
other immersive media using the SDK to
be incorporated into over-the-counter
DTx treatments for stress and hypertension.
For the last four years, DeepWell
DTx has explored what new treatments
for mental and physical health could
come from leveraging the therapeutic
value of media in digital therapeutics.
There are approximately 3.3 billion active
video game players globally, a population
that has risen by one billion in the last
eight years, and the games themselves,
when properly delivered, have resulted in
considerable mental health benefits. The
convenience of this therapeutic medicine
model cannot be overlooked. By accessing
an enormous group of people where they
are willingly and happily spending their
time, and giving them tailored, immersive
experiences in a safe, controlled, and familiar
environment, the likelihood of consistent
engagement with digital therapies
within media becomes comparatively high.
