Today the FDA announced the establishment of a new Digital Health Advisory Committee to help the agency explore the complex, scientific and technical issues related to digital health technologies (DHTs), such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), augmented reality, virtual reality, digital therapeutics, wearables, remote patient monitoring and software. 

On the heels of the upcoming major digital therapeutics show in Boston (DTx East), EVERSANA has announced a partnership with Warsaw, Poland-based Prosoma Digital Therapeutics. Together, they will work together to bring the company’s Living Well digital therapy to the U.S. to improve the quality of life and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms for patients related to a cancer diagnosis.

Two years of a worldwide pandemic. An endless amount of impact. Business models across all industries were stretched, accommodated, and changed forever. None more so than health and wellness. Within health and wellness, telehealth was one of the areas that saw the most change.
