Swiss Society to Host Annual Meeting on Digital Therapeutics in Lucerne
Lucerne, Monday, 3 November 2025.
On November 13-14, 2025, in Lucerne, SGED-SSED will focus on digital solutions for Type-2 diabetes prevention, uniting experts to explore cutting-edge healthcare innovations.
The Role of Digital Therapeutics in Diabetes Prevention
Digital therapeutics are at the forefront of innovative healthcare strategies, particularly in the management and prevention of Type-2 diabetes. These technologies, classified as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) by the FDA, are software-based interventions designed to treat and manage various medical conditions, including Type-2 diabetes. The market for digital therapeutics is expected to reach $104 billion by 2032, reflecting its growing significance in the healthcare landscape [3].
Evidence-Based Interventions and Population Health Strategies
The integration of digital health technologies into healthcare practices offers promising avenues for evidence-based interventions. For instance, AI-driven solutions can personalize treatment plans and predict patient outcomes, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of diabetes management [3]. This approach aligns with population health strategies that aim to improve health outcomes for entire communities by leveraging technology to provide scalable, personalized care [3].
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Digital Health Innovations
The cost-benefit dynamics of digital therapeutics are crucial in understanding their potential impact on healthcare systems. Despite initial costs associated with the development and implementation of these technologies, their ability to reduce long-term healthcare expenditures by preventing complications and hospitalizations is significant. As Medicare and Medicaid explore coverage options for digital therapeutics, the introduction of new billing codes in 2025 marks a pivotal step towards broader financial accessibility [3].
Implementation Success Stories
Successful implementation of digital health solutions can be seen in various pilot programs and studies. For example, the integration of digital biomarkers and AI-driven prevention strategies has shown promise in enhancing patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans. These innovations not only improve clinical outcomes but also streamline healthcare delivery by reducing administrative burdens and enhancing patient-provider interactions [1][2].
