The ATA Action Advancing Digital Health Coalition is designed for organizations aiming to lead and navigate the advancing health technology sector. It provides a platform for collaboration, influence, and staying updated in digital health policy. This coalition builds upon the work done by the Digital Therapeutics Alliance to continue advocacy and innovation for technologies that transform patient care.
Innovative health technologies such as digital therapeutics, digital diagnostics, and Prescription Drug-Use-Related Software (PDURS) are crucial in addressing significant gaps in healthcare, including provider shortages and the increasing demand for home care. However, the pathways to ensure patient access to these technologies are not clearly defined. Joining this Coalition can help organizations engage with key stakeholders in legislative areas across the country.
