Digital therapeutics (DTx) have been defined as technologies that "offer therapeutic interventions driven by high-quality software programs, based on scientific evidence obtained through methodologically rigorous confirmatory clinical investigation, to prevent, manage and treat a broad spectrum of physical, mental and behavioural conditions". DTx products are on the market in a number of countries or under development for a broad range of physical and behavioral conditions, including oncology treatment management. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an update on findings available for DTx, specifically developed for the treatment of patients with cancer. A search was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Clinicaltrials.gov and Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien, as well as some websites specifically concerned with DTx.

A245minutes at teaching hospitals and 175 minutes at non-teaching hospitals. There were significant variations in duration of routine ED visits across race groups at teaching and non-teaching hospitals. The risk-adjusted results show that the mean duration of routine ED visits for black/African American and Asian patients when compared to visits for white patients was shorter by 10.0 and 3.4 percent, respectively, at teaching hospitals; and longer by 3.6 and 13.8 percent, respectively, at non-teaching hospitals. Hispanic patients experienced 8.7 percent longer ED stays when compared to white patients at non-teaching hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: There is significant racial disparity in the duration of routine ED visits, especially in non-teaching hospitals where non-white patients experience longer ED stays compared to white patients. The variation in duration of routine ED visits at teaching hospitals when compared to non-teaching hospitals was smaller across race groups.

Fernanda Perrone is an archivist and head of the Exhibitions Program in Special Collections and University Archives at the Rutgers University LibrariesThe year 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of the dedication of Voorhees Hall, Rutgers' first purpose-built library. Originally known as the Ralph Voorhees Library, Voorhees Hall served as the school's main library from 1903 until the Archibald S. Alexander Library opened in 1956. Voorhees Hall can be seen as a case study of the "transitional" library of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a time when architects and librarians began to work together to design library buildings. Libraries built during this period incorporated the functionality of modern academic library buildings with the monumentality and grace of the book halls of the past. In a broader sense, the history of the Ralph Voorhees Library reflects the evolution of Rutgers from college to state university, and indeed of the development of U.S. higher education in general during the first half of the twentieth century-a period when the growth and diversification of knowledge, and increasing participation in higher education, radically changed the nature of colleges and universities.
