Understanding Economic Decision-Making in Digital Therapeutics Development: Qualitative Approach
This study reveals complex interactions between institutional structures, intrapersonal factors, and implementation uncertainties that systematically deprioritize economic considerations in DTx development. The identified mechanisms provide valuable intervention points for strengthening the development process toward a more comprehensive assessment of clinical, technical, and economic value throughout the DTx lifecycle to ultimately enhance their adoption in health care systems.
