How are digital therapeutics improving mental health outcomes?

DTx, set to be worth US$11.82 billion in the global market by 2027, demonstrates several advantages over traditional treatments. Mental health conditions are a significant global health issue. Research from the World Health Organisation indicates that almost 792 million people worldwide are affected by mental health disorders. It also highlights that one in every eight people lives with a mental illness. Despite the widespread prevalence of such concerns, those suffering do not get adequate mental health care. For example, almost 60 per cent of adults with a mental illness do not receive adequate treatment. Even though mental health care is essential, several barriers prevent people from accessing adequate mental health care. These include societal stigma, limited access to mental health professionals, and the high cost of treatment. Interestingly, even in a country as advanced as the United States, only 28 per cent of the mental health clinician need is met.
