How digital therapeutics could revolutionize healthcare | Agata Blasiak | TEDxGateway

How can your phone improve your health? Dr. Agata Blasiak introduces us to Digital Therapeutics, commonly known as DTx - an innovative blend of technology and medicine. From guiding patients with chronic back pain to assisting a child with ADHD, DTx are much more than just apps - they are rigorously tested medical devices. While many are unaware of their existence or potential, they have the ability to transform how we treat people. Dr. Agata Blasiak is the Head of Digital Health Innovation
at the Institute for Digital Medicine (WisDM) and the N.1
Institute for Health (N.1) at the National University of
Singapore. She champions the development of digital
healthtechnologies and has co-developed digital
platforms for decentralized healthcare in Singapore’s
public healthcare sector. Blasiak is a co-author of an
upcoming Johns Hopkins University Press book Medicine
without Meds: Transforming Patient Care with Digital
Therapies. In addition to her current domain in digital
health, Blasiak has a strong expertise in neurotechnology:
from a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline to model
neurodegenerative diseases in vitro to developing neural
interfaces for artificial prosthesis. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
