BOSTON, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) announced it's partnering with Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI), ZS Associates, and other leading industry organizations to define how Integrated Evidence Plans (IEP) can be developed, optimized, and used to support the regulatory and commercial success of digital health products (DHPs) on an accelerated timeline. The goal is to streamline the pathways to successful commercialization of high-value, evidence-based DHPs, addressing the top priority reported by industry leaders in DiMe's recent Digital Health Industry Regulatory Needs Assessment: to align best practices between regulatory requirements and decision-making with downstream payers and purchasers.

This latest project from DiMe will address these obstacles to help streamline the path to broad adoption of evidence-based digital health technologies, build confidence with digital health purchasing organizations, and optimize health outcomes for the greatest number of patients – all while advancing innovation in the digital health landscape.
"Developers have been very successful at securing FDA acceptance and market access opportunities for their digital health products (DHPs).
This work builds on DiMe's successful U.S. Digital Health Regulatory Pathways for DHPs and Evidence DEFINED framework to advance the use of IEPs for developing DHPs.
