An App a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

An app for diabetes. A video game for ADHD. VR for post-surgery pain. In the face of an expensive health care system and devastating addiction crises, a class of accessible and virtually side effect-free digital therapeutics and digital health technologies are challenging existing models of treatment. We talk to industry leaders and an investment expert about this growing field and consider the question: Could your next prescription be an app? This is The Future According To Now, a podcast from Atlantic Re:think, the branded content studio at The Atlantic, and Fidelity Investments, with production support from At Will Media.
