JMIR Publications has announced its collaboration with E-Health Venture (EHV) on their Digital Therapeutics (DTx) Projects. Digital therapeutics solutions leverage software and behavioural science to offer new ways of treating or managing medical conditions. They require both clinical and real-world proof of efficacy. Obtaining this proof is costly and complicated, discouraging entrepreneurs and researchers from advancing their concepts or early designs into robust digital interventions.
JMIR Publications is partnering with EHV for their ‘DTx Advance’ program, which will de-risk, support, and accelerate the process of developing a DTx application. Selected projects will receive funding, coaching/support, as well as access to hospitals and university stakeholders to consult in design and rollout.
As a collaborator JMIR Publications will assist in talent matching and identifying research published across its portfolio that has the potential to develop into effective digital measures. This partnership will include calls for research to support/explore current projects, and invite new ideas for consideration. As projects continue to develop and require further investigation or validation, JMIR Publications’ welcome publication of any follow up research or datasets in their journals to complete a transparent development process of an effective therapeutic.
