Meeting strict regulatory product milestones on a tight timeline
We helped Elona Health build a psychotherapy app thats covered by health insurance.
The story
Elona Health aimed to develop a digital therapeutic (DTx) app to support patients' progress in treating depression and anxiety between appointments, while adhering to regulatory requirements.
Digital therapeutics are evidence-based software interventions that prevent, manage, or treat medical disorders. They represent a transformative approach in healthcare, leveraging technology to deliver personalized treatment options.
Think-it’s role
The Think-it team came in as the engineering team tasked with blending medical science and tech to quickly build the best solution.
The catch: Just like changing the ingredients of a regulated medicine, changing the features of a regulated app would require a new certification. It had to be right from the start.
Our choice of technologies reflects the robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure required for developing effective digital therapeutics. These tools enable us to create evidence-based software interventions that meet strict regulatory standards.
Why it mattered
Elona faced a clear regulatory milestone in 2022 - with a strong MVP they met these requirements and became reimbursable by health insurance. With these standards in place, the team was ready to take on the next goal: building machine learning-driven recommendations for therapists and patient exercises.
This advancement exemplifies the core principle of digital therapeutics: using technology to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes through evidence-based interventions.
