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.

Lucas and Luna examine how companies like Kaia Health and DarioHealth are using cognitive behavioral therapy, movement tracking, and biofeedback to manage conditions like back pain and fibromyalgia—often replacing or reducing opioid use. They discuss a randomized controlled trial showing a 35% reduction in pain-related disability for users of a prescription digital therapeutic, and what this means for insurers and employers seeking non-pharmacological alternatives. The hosts also weigh the regulatory challenges, including FDA clearance for software-as-a-medical-device, and why some clinicians remain skeptical. A thoughtful look at how software is becoming a legitimate treatment modality for one of medicine's most intractable problems: chronic pain. #DigitalHealth #ChronicPain #DigitalTherapeutics #KaiaHealth #DarioHealth #OpioidCrisis #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #Biofeedback #FDA #SaMD #Business #Healthcare #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #HealthTech #PainManagement #NonOpioid Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 53 of The Digital Health Podcast explores the emerging field of digital therapeutics for chronic pain.
