Digital medicines are drugs that when ingested communicate to a consumer's mobile device and report the time of ingestion, along with accurate metrics of activities of daily life collected by a wearable patch and communicated using the patient’s mobile device. Digital medicine solutions engage patients, families and providers, delivering accurate feedback that enhances trust, improves collaboration and delivers much better, personalized outcomes. In this episode, Andrew Thompson, CEO of Proteus Digital Health, will explain why this new category - digital medicines - is a sector that will generate revenues of $100B within ten years, and within 30 years why every drug in the world will be a digital medicine.
