Personal Innovativeness Fuels Digital Therapeutics' Role in Healthcare Change
San Francisco, Monday, 7 July 2025.
Studies highlight how personal innovativeness impacts the adoption and efficacy of digital therapeutics, transforming patient outcomes and healthcare strategies during a shift towards digital solutions.
The Rising Influence of Digital Therapeutics
Recent developments in digital therapeutics underscore the crucial role personal innovativeness plays in healthcare, particularly in the adoption and effectiveness of these advanced solutions. With the global digital therapeutics market expected to expand significantly, from USD 7.8 billion in 2024 to USD 88.6 billion by 2034 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5%, the demand for integrating technology innovation in healthcare is surging [1].
Innovative Technologies in Healthcare
The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and cloud computing into digital therapeutics has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. These tools offer evidence-based software solutions designed to assist in preventing, managing, and treating medical conditions, providing an alternative to traditional treatments and enhancing patient engagement [1][3].
Personal Innovativeness and Technology Acceptance
Research indicates that personal innovativeness, or the propensity to adopt new technologies ahead of others, is a significant factor influencing the intention to use digital therapeutics. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model highlights that personal innovativeness positively affects this intention, moderated by variables such as digital self-efficacy and health belief [2].
Market Dynamics and Future Outlook
In the coming years, the digital therapeutics market is poised to grow substantially. Particularly noteworthy is the introduction of AmblyoFix by Eyesight Electronics, a digital intervention for amblyopia, which exemplifies the successful application of these technologies in specific therapeutic areas [1]. As healthcare systems continue to digitize, understanding and cultivating personal innovativeness among healthcare professionals will be pivotal in ensuring the successful adoption and scaling of digital therapeutics solutions, ultimately transforming patient care and management [1][2][3].
