Introduction: This study is to provide information to determine the policy direction for a preemptive action to occupational therapy in a society where digital therapeutics has arrived. The purpose of the study is firstly to present the purpose, intervention principle, and target group of digital therapeutics, second, to analyze the relationship between digital therapeutics and occupational therapy, and third, to suggest the role of occupational therapists for the development of digital occupational therapy.
Body: Digital therapeutics are high-quality software, similar to the interventional approach of occupational therapy, with the goal of preventing, treating, and managing patients’ diseases and disorders. The intervention principle of digital therapeutics is cognitive behavioral therapy, neurorehabilitation, medication management and adjustment, and habit training, which are related to the framework of occupational therapy frames of reference. The patients subject to digital therapeutics are also similar to the main patient groups of occupational therapy such as psychosocial disorders and neurological diseases. The computerassisted cognitive rehabilitation system, which is a digital therapeutics used in occupational therapy sites, needs to be developed by fusion with digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud.
Conclusion: Digital therapeutics is a new paradigm that will lead the future health and medical industry in the 21st century. Occupational therapy believes that accepting change and responding with an active attitude can lead to development along with survival in a changing era. It is judged that it is a wise policy direction to prepare for the era of digital occupational therapy along with the era of digital therapeutics.
