How could digital therapeutics (DTx) improve communication between HCPs and patients?

Smartphones & digital therapeutics have allowed communication, which previously had to be done face to face, to migrate to the digital sphere.

This can be directly through the digital therapeutics itself, such as messaging or sharing health data within a digital therapeutic app which healthcare professionals can access, or through data sharing using external channels that can be accessed inside the app (i.e. email, text message, social media etc).

By doing so, healthcare professionals' restrictions of time, place and personal limitations become less significant, and as a result, the quality and frequency of their communication with patients may improve.
