DTx Podcast with Eugene Borukhovich Digital Health Today

In this episode we kick off the next chapter of the DTx podcast. We heard you loud and clear - this industry is here to stay and therefore we are moving away from Seasons and going Evergreen - so what does that mean for you? It means we will continue bringing you deep conversations and knowledge from trailblazers, policy makers, associations and of course patients and health consumers.
Chandana Fitzgerald, CEO of HealthXL has agreed to continue being my partner on this podcast asking the tough questions and dive into a short recap of last year’s DTx news but also what we are seeing as some of the key trends emerging into 2023 and beyond.  

In this episode, we cover:

How digital therapeutics have evolved and the future of DTx

The Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2022 

Digital Therapeutic Alliance approaches to evidence generation and upcoming conferences 

Scaling DTx

Pharmacy Benefits Management systems

Navigating Sick care vs Healthcare


And much more!
