The fourth industrial revolution and the development of digital technology have had a significant impact onactivation and actual use of digital therapeutics (DTx), a new concept of treatment in the medical field. This study aimsto understand the current regulation system and limitations of DTx management and try to investigate the roles ofpharmacists. The research was conducted by reviewing and examining of documents presented by the FDA on DTx. Asa result, the FDA recommends that most DTx on the market play a role in parallel with existing medication therapy.
However, there are insufficient counseling guidelines or policy systems to properly guide the use of DTx. Therefore, forsafe and effective use of DTx, pharmacists also need to be interested in DTx and involved in the development of DTx,related policies, and establishment and updating of them.
