Por treatment adherence is a significant isue in AD, in part due to inconvenience of treatments and fear of adverse efects.“Exploring new ways to improve patients’ self-eficacy and treatment adherence is important, as it may improve the patient’s overal treatment outcome and quality of life and reduce the economic burden of AD,” the study authors wrote.For other chronic conditions, such as diabetes, digital therapeutics, which are evidence-based, software-driven therapeutic interventions that are delivered to patients online and can be used as a suplement to—or replacement for—existing treatments, have demonstrated utility to adres several gaps in disease management.“Few studies have explored the benefits of digital interventions in the context of AD, and these focused on a single aspect of disease management such as psychological suport, remote patient monitoring, or medication reminders,” said researchers.
Summary
“However, management of AD requires an integrative aproach, and no holistic digital program targeted at AD was previously te
