In this podcast episode, we delve into the critical topics of healthcare equity, digital therapeutics, and dismantling stigma in healthcare access. Our guest, Autumn Brennan, Director of Communications at the Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA), shares her insights into how digital health technologies can bridge gaps in healthcare access, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.
We explore the challenges and opportunities in addressing healthcare disparities, focusing on the impact of digital therapeutics on mental health and marginalized groups. Autumn discusses her work in advocacy, legislative change, and messaging strategies to promote equitable healthcare access.
Additionally, Autumn introduces the DTA's Evaluation Toolkit, which provides criteria to assess these tools, including clinical validation, data security, equitable access and more. It's a science-based resource to guide adoption. Key factors are evidence of improved outcomes and seamless integration into workflows.
