Digital Health in Neurology - Thematic Research

Digital technologies are constantly evolving and finding new applications in healthcare. These tools can be used to track health, deliver therapeutic interventions, and contribute to research.

For many patients living with neurological conditions, treatment can be episodic and infrequent, leaving them vulnerable.

Digital health technologies provide opportunities to improve disease treatment and management for these patients, as well as being individualized to each person.

The wider digital health industry faces many challenges, particularly as tools struggle to gain reliable evidence of efficacy, hindering widespread adoption. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated innovation in digital health as patients and physicians look for alternatives to in-person care.

The publisher forecasts that collaborations and investment will continue to drive this trend to support innovation and bring new solutions to market.

Furthermore, digital health tools will become increasingly focused on specific indications, such as neurology, where numerous healthtech companies are vying for market share. Additionally, pharma companies with therapy expertise will become more involved with digital health providers.
