What is Digital Medicine?

In this DIGI-MEd, we dive deep into the theme of Digital Medicine, illustrating its definition and usage in the wider healthcare ecosystem.

Digital Medicine (DM) is a discipline that uses digital solutions previously validated within medical research and practice, i.e., “clinically validated” in a robustly enforced and ethical scenario. It is not reduced to “telemedicine” because it requires a constant follow-up for a defined methodology fully integrated into patients’ journeys.


The Two Pillars of Digital Medicine

  1. Clinical Validation Process Evidence from the robust and ethically enforced clinical validation process executed under the MDR (Medical Device Regulation) framework and other applicable legislation in the field of clinical research ensures credibility and trust.
  2. Remote Patient Monitoring and Digital Therapeutics Healthcare professionals remotely follow patients and citizens in a digital, clinical environment for preventive or monitoring purposes, as part of a broader medical program. This process extends to the execution of “prescribable interventions,” also known as Digital Therapeutics (DTx).
