Last time I looked this up online, there were more than 5000 companies offering digital medicine tools. Which ones worked? Which ones are less good than others? Which ones have not been tested? How were they tested: apples to apples or a whole fruit basket of standards? If you’re a clinician or the head of population health or an insurance carrier and you’re trying to figure out whether a digital tool could help solve a problem your patients are having … at this juncture, may the force be with you and I hope you know how to use Excel.

The Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) aims to put definitions and standards around what can be legitimately called a digital therapeutic and how these tools are best deployed so that patients are best equipped to get the best possible outcomes. Today I speak with Megan Coder, executive director of the Digital Therapeutics Alliance.
