Short description: none

This is a list of companies in digital therapeutics, a healthcare discipline that utilizes digital and Internet-based health technologies to make behavioral and lifestyle changes in patients.[1][2][3] Digital therapeutics is a relatively new discipline that uses digital implements like mobile devices, apps, sensors, the Internet of Things, and others to spur behavioral changes in patients.[2][4][5] The methodology operates as both a preventative technique for at-risk patients and a treatment for patients with existing conditions.[6][7][8] The companies in this list are organized by the health conditions or functions on which they focus.[citation needed]
