Prescription digital therapeutics (PDT) are software applications that provide clinical treatment and management tools for patients (1) for a variety of disease states or medical conditions. As the role and utilization of digital therapeutics globally is expected to increase 10-fold between 2021 and 2030 (2). Due to the increasing availability of PDTs for clinical applications, payers in the United States and Canada are seeking how best to assess these technologies for safety, effectiveness, and value.

The previous webinars in the webinar series covered the legal, payer and manufacturer views on digital health implementation and patient data use. The purpose of this session is to address this topic from the patients' perspective, outline how patients can be involved in the development and implementation of digital health initiatives and the impact and value for the patient community, including more ethical, faster, effective, and appropriate outcomes.

The purpose of the ISPOR HTA Roundtables is to provide a platform for discussion only among HTA bodies, public and private payers, other governmental decision makers, and academics when no HTA body exists in the country. The goal is to advance the application of research on health technologies and to promote a valuable exchange of information, methods, and knowledge in the development of value assessment, or health technology assessment, in 5 major regions of the world (Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and North America.) Additional information on the ISPOR HTA Roundtables is available here.
