Reprogramming Chronic Care: AI-Driven Digital Therapeutics for a Connected, Personalized and Equitable Health Future
Abstract
Background: Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental disorders contribute to 74% of global annual deaths, creating a major strain on healthcare systems. Conventional episodic care models are inadequate for continuous management, highlighting the need for innovative solutions.
Purpose: This review systematically evaluates the role of AI-powered Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in chronic disease management, examining clinical evidence, therapeutic outcomes, regulatory frameworks, and future integration with multidisciplinary healthcare systems, with a focus on low- and middle-income settings such as India.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search of clinical trials, meta-analyses, and real-world studies was conducted. Regulatory frameworks like the FDA’s Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and India’s Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) were analyzed to assess the positioning of Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in healthcare systems.
Results: Digital therapeutics (DTx) showed significant advantages in chronic disease management: HbA1c reduction of 0.67% in Type 2 Diabetes patients, improved hypertension control with 84% of patients maintaining sustained blood pressure control over three years, and PHQ-9 score reductions by 7.3 points in depression. The AI-driven DTx platform provided real-time adaptive interventions using digital biomarkers and phenotyping. Despite these outcomes, widespread adoption faces challenges from low digital literacy, regulatory uncertainty, and inadequate reimbursement structures, especially in India.
Conclusion: AI-powered Digital Therapeutics (DTx) offer transformative solutions for chronic disease management by enabling personalized, adaptive care. Integrating DTx with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) enhances clinical decision-making and preventive care, but implementation is hampered by regulatory fragmentation and technological gaps.
