Reviews
This book shares useful resources, discusses insightful case studies (both successful and unsuccessful), and provides guidelines at various technology and business development stages. The case studies and key takeaways are particularly instrumental and enjoyable to read. The international coverage of the topic is another highlight of the book. I consider the book highly original, and it represents a substantial contribution to the digital therapeutic space. It should be a must-read.
Medicine without Meds is an authoritative primer on digital therapeutics (DTx) for investors, entrepreneurs, clinicians, and policymakers. DTx have the ability to improve access to care and outcomes in a meaningful way, and if implemented effectively, can close health equity gaps. This book is a great start in helping leaders implement DTx effectively.
Apps are no longer just for tracking diets or steps but are becoming directly part of the medical treatment. Whether helping cancer patients or ADHD children, digital therapeutics are revolutionizing the way patients access health care. Medicine without Meds explains how our health will be transformed through digital health.
This book expertly brings together the leaders—from patients, clinicians, and health-systems, to manufacturers, venture capitalists, and policymakers—who can jointly transform the opportunities of digital therapeutics into reality. It is an incredible springboard for delivering therapies to patients worldwide.
There are only three ways you can effectively scale up an intervention for a population: add it to the water or food, make it a compulsory part of the curriculum in schools, or digitalize it. Medicine without Meds shows us how to do the latter. And convinces us it works!
A visionary guide to the future of healthcare, exploring the transformative potential of digital therapeutics to improve access to care and close health equity gaps. With thought-provoking insights from leaders across sectors, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the future of healthcare. A must-read for investors, entrepreneurs, clinicians, and policymakers alike!
