Empowering Patients with Digital Therapeutics w/ Sidekick’s Tryggvi Thorgeirsson | HealthBiz Briefs
Digital therapeutics have experienced both significant promise and industry failures in equal measure.
That being said, according to a recent PWC report, research found that more than half of patients are willing to use digital therapeutics and that more than 56% of doctors are recommending them to their patients.
The need for digital therapeutics is clearly there, and patients are increasingly looking for personalized care.
In this week’s HealthBiz Briefs, Dr. Tryggvi Thorgeirsson, CEO of Sidekick, discusses how they’re reinvigorating digital therapeutics with AI, personalized care, and new strategies for empowering patients.
