We’ve got a very special guest on this episode. In Season 2 of DTx Podcast, we will focus greater attention on the evidence and commercialization of Digital Therapeutics. To bring even more context and insights to these conversations, I'm excited to introduce my partner this season: Dr. Chandana Fitzgerald, or as you’ll hear her own name of choice - "Dr No Craic"! Don't worry, the name will be explained in this episode.
Join us as we briefly rewind the past year in DTx as we discuss SPAC’s and going public, new entrants and exits in the DTx space, and much more. Chandana also asks me a few questions about the history and goal of the DTx Podcast and what we have to look forward to in season two.
But before we dive in… I remember when Martin Kelly introduced me to Chandana at one of the HealthXL events about 5 years ago. Chandana was witty, sharp and fun to speak with. Chandana comes from a clinical background as a physician, and is now the Chief Medical Officer and General Manager of HealthXL. And, as you'll here in this first episode of Season 2 of DTx Podcast, she's also my clinical and commercialization partner with all the tough questions for our guests!

In this final episode of Digital Therapeutics Edition, Eugene and his journalistic partner, Brian Dolan, reflect on the lessons learned, guest experts, and inspiring stories featured in season one. Brian is a journalist and the founder and lead writer of Exits & Outcomes, and in each episode, he asked the guests a pointed and challenging question about their digital solutions or their outlook on the DTx industry.
It's been an eventful five months, Brian says -- companies have been bought, merged, and sold, and have raised impressive rounds of funding -- but there are other areas that have seen little progress since the podcast was launched.
There may be a season 2 of Digital Therapeutics Edition, but in the meantime, head over to healthxl.com/dtx to continue the conversation with Eugene and other experts.
What do you think the future of DTx will look like?

Abhishek Shah, the CEO and founder of Wellthy Therapeutics, is driven by the challenge of improving care delivery and outcomes for serious or chronic diseases like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and kidney disease. Abhishek decided to start Wellthy after a successful career as an investor; he was inspired by the incredible ideas of other entrepreneurs, and tired of sitting on the sidelines, decided to build something himself.
Eugene and Abhishek talked back in December, and in that time, Wellthy has laid the groundwork for expansion throughout Asia Pacific and Europe. Eugene and Abhishek talk about his efforts to get investors to back Wellthy, the technology and regulatory landscape for DTx in South Asia, and whether Wellthy is facing competition from other industry players like Apollo during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Edward Kliphuis says his love for investing in digital health comes from his love of "playing with toys" and imagining the possible benefit to health outcomes if "damn cool" solutions are scaled significantly.
M Ventures backs many impressive companies-- like BioLink, Sonde Health, and Akili.
In this episode, Ed talks to Eugene about M Ventures' founding philosophy (how to cut delayed feedback cycles, which M Ventures views as the biggest threat to humanity), approach to investing, and discusses some of the drivers of capital injections in the DTx space. Also, Ed offers his insight into what makes for a truly successful DTx company.
