Each episode focuses on a specific development: how continuous glucose monitors are changing diabetes management, the FDA's latest clearance for an AI-driven ECG algorithm, or the business models behind telehealth startups like Ro and Hims & Hers. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to the numbers — market sizes, clinical trial results, reimbursement rates — while Luna challenges him on the real-world impact for clinicians and patients. They dissect earnings reports from Apple and Fitbit, parse policy moves from the FDA and CMS, and debate whether VC-funded digital health unicorns can sustain their valuations. Listeners — healthcare professionals, investors, tech strategists — get a clear-eyed briefing on what works, what's hype, and what's next in a sector where staying informed means understanding both the science and the business. How do you separate signal from noise when every startup claims to democratize healthcare? #DigitalHealth #Wearables #HealthTech #Telemedicine #FDA #RemotePatientMonitor…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-20T20:20:38.160520+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006"},"episode":{"title":"How Digital Health Apps Are Getting Prescribed Like Drugs","slug":"how-digital-health-apps-are-getting-prescribed-like-drugs","published_at":"2026-06-11T20:35:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006/how-digital-health-apps-are-getting-prescribed-like-drugs","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0045.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0045.mp3","summary":"Prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) are a new category of software that doctors can prescribe to treat conditions from ADHD to substance use disorder. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Akili Interactive and Pear Therapeutics have navigated FDA clearance, insurance reimbursement, and the tricky transition from app store to pharmacy counter. They break down the numbers behind Akili's EndeavorRx — the first FDA-authorized video game for ADHD — and examine why the path from pilot to prescription remains steep. Along the way, they discuss the role of real-world evidence, the challenges of scaling beyond single indications, and what it means for a product to be 'prescribed' in an era when anyone can download a health app. A focused look at where digital therapeutics stand as of mid-2026. #DigitalTherapeutics #PrescriptionDigitalTherapeutics #AkiliInteractive #PearTherapeutics #EndeavorRx #FDA #ADHD #SubstanceUseDisorder #RealWorldEvidence #Reimbursement #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheDigitalHealthPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) are a new category of software that doctors can prescribe to treat conditions from ADHD to substance use disorder…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":584,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006/episodes/how-digital-health-apps-are-getting-prescribed-like-drugs/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006/how-digital-health-apps-are-getting-prescribed-like-drugs.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
