Application of digital therapeutics in pediatric neurorehabilitation / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The booming development of modern digital technology, such as IOT(internet of things), big data, artificial intelligence, has given birth to the emerging industry of digital therapeutics(DTx).Compared with the limitations of traditional therapy, the preponderance of DTx makes it a new treatment strategy for neuropsychiatric disorders in children.The digital therapeutics alliance(DTA) defines DTx and sets out the core principles for DTx products.DTx has tremendous potential value for users, providers, payors and enterprises.DTx has extensive indications.At present, DTx is mainly suitable for rehabilitation of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), autism spectrum disorder(ASD), cognitive impairment, epilepsy and dysopia in the field of children′s neurorehabilitation.Enormous advantages and value are the primary internal factors for the emergence and rapid expansion of DTx, but the maturity of DTx will face many challenges.In coming days, it is believed that under the promotion of many external forces, the DTx industry will grasp the opportunities to win the challenges and provide a new driving force for the development of neurological rehabilitation of children.
