Panel Discussion: How Should we Leverage Real-World Evidence in the “New Normal”
To effectively approach payers for reimbursement opportunities, a digital therapeutics company needs to provide a plethora of clinical and user-based data to prove the therapeutic works. However, there is no handbook on what data needs to be demonstrated. This panel will dive into the intricacies of how to effectively engage with payers to achieve reimbursement. Hear the experts’ thoughts on:
- How have recent changes in healthcare affected how we leverage RWE?
- How have payers and insurers changed their perspective on digital therapeutics over the past few months?
- What information do payers need to see to proceed with partnership and reimbursement of a DTx product?
- Is there a bar of validation for real data evidence that payers need to see met or does this work on a case by case scenario?
- How are DTx companies expected to provide consumer utilization data prior to being reimbursed and commercialised? Is this a ‘chicken and egg’ scenario?
