Better Therapeutics to Present Health Economic Data at ISPOR 2019
Research estimates cost savings of 30-40% over traditional treatments using Better's digital behavioral intervention in type 2 diabetes and hypertension
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Better Therapeutics, a developer of prescription digital therapeutics for the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases, today announced an upcoming poster presentation of health economic data at the ISPOR 2019 Conference May 18 - 22 in New Orleans. The presentation will include data on the reduction of health resource utilization and cost-effectiveness of Better's digital behavioral intervention in type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Recognizing there are few existing assessments of the economic benefits of digital therapeutics, Better commissioned health economic and outcomes research (HEOR) to understand the cost-effectiveness of its intervention by analysing both economic and clinical benefit. The poster presentation will present selected data from that research.
Here are the details of the upcoming poster presentation:
Poster Title: Estimating the economic impact of novel digital therapeutics in type 2 diabetes and hypertension
Poster Location: B9
Date & Time: Wednesday, May 22nd, 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Abstracts will be published following the conference as a supplement to Value in Health, the journal of The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, and on the Better Therapeutics website. Complete data are undergoing peer-review and will be published later this year.
Highlights of the research include:
- Cost savings are estimated to be 30-40% of the average annual cost of conventional treatments
- Clinical inertia - the resistance to reducing use of prescription drugs, may be important in realizing the full benefits of digital therapeutics
- Average estimated savings over 3-years ranged from $96 to $145 per participant per month, with higher potential benefits in type 2 diabetes
