“…The relevance of the physician's role stems from the fact that, at present, the most widespread model of DTx distribution internationally (e.g., in Germany, and France) involves a prescription by the physician [19,75]. However, these technologies should work to minimize the efforts of highly specialized, rationed specialists [76]. It is therefore worth asking whether it might be useful to develop different implementation models in the future.…”

National healthcare systems face multiple challenges, including the increasing demand for care and decreasing availability of healthcare professionals. Digital health technologies represent opportunities that offer improved efficiency, accessibility, and patient care. In this scenario, Digital Therapeutics are technological advancements to treat or alleviate a disease and deliver a medical intervention with evidence-based therapeutic impacts and regulatory approval. Digital Therapeutics are a paradigm shift for physicians, who exercise caution in terms of trust and wide usage. Digital Therapeutics represents an opportunity and a challenge in healthcare system integration. The research investigates the factors explaining physicians’ acceptance of Digital Therapeutics. A research model that combines organizational mechanisms derived from Institutional Theory and rational factors derived from the Technology Acceptance model was developed. The model was tested through 107 responses from a survey distributed to the members of the leading Italian scientific society in Diabetology. Literature-based hypotheses were empirically tested through Structural Equation Modelling. The analysis confirmed the influence of Perceived Ease of Use on Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Usefulness on the Intention To Use Digital Therapeutics. Rules and norms impact Perceived Usefulness when considering the influence of the scientific society. Culture and mindset towards innovation within the hospital positively affect Perceived Ease of Use. The readiness of hospital facilities enhances the extent to which physicians perceive the ease of employing Digital Therapeutics in their daily practice. Instead, esteemed colleagues’ opinions and guidelines from the scientific society reveal to physicians the value of Digital Therapeutics in patients’ care pathways. Institutions should prioritize cultural, normative, and regulative aspects to accelerate physicians’ endorsement of Digital Therapeutics. Findings advance the theoretical knowledge around clinicians’ adoption of innovative digital health technologies, unveiling the interaction between rational and institutional factors. The results highlight practical implications for healthcare institutions and Digital Therapeutics manufacturers willing to promote their adoption.

“…Cognitive behavioral therapy digital therapies are effective in treating central nervous system disorders such as sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol and drug addiction, pain relief, and panic disorders. This area is relatively active, accounting for one-third of all digital therapeutics development [ 9 , 10 ]. Products for systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, cancer, and hypertension) where lifestyle improvement has a significant effect, and for diseases where managing the prognosis of seriously ill patients is important, apply a lifestyle modification approach [ 11 ].…”

In recent years, the emergence of digital therapeutics as a novel approach to managing conditions has garnered significant attention. This approach involves using evidence-based therapeutic interventions that are facilitated by high-quality software programs to treat, manage, or prevent medical conditions. The incorporation of digital therapeutics into the Metaverse has increased the feasibility of their implementation and application in all areas of medical services. In urology, substantial digital therapeutics are being produced and researched, including mobile apps, bladder devices, pelvic floor muscle trainers, smart toilet systems, mixed reality-guided training and surgery, and training and telemedicine for urological consultations. The purpose of this review article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current impact of the Metaverse on the field of digital therapeutics and identify its current trends, applications, and future perspectives in the field of urology.

“…The utilization of regional languages such as Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese in translating health education materials can effectively enhance the dissemination of vital health-related information to a broader range of communities, despite Bahasa Indonesia being the national language. A potential approach to addressing diabetes prevention in linguistically diverse communities is the development of a series of educational videos delineating the risks, symptoms, and prevention strategies associated with diabetes (Phan et al, 2023) . These videos may be distributed via local community centers, schools, and digital platforms to enhance their reach and impact.…”

The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) among Indonesian adolescents has prompted the consideration of early detection and management in school-age individuals. One contributing factor is the spatial shift phenomenon, where rural and urban areas in Indonesia are becoming more connected, leading to a uniform market for food and beverage options that pose a higher risk of developing diabetes. This study examines three key aspects of Indonesia's ethnically diverse youth population: their lifestyle, use of information technology, and dietary choices. These factors significantly impact their likelihood of consuming foods and beverages that are harmful for individuals with diabetes. The study, conducted using a library-centric research approach, reveals that Indonesian youths' daily routines blend traditional and modern cultural practices which profoundly influenced by technological advancements, social media prevalence, and globalization. Interestingly, the findings highlight that no communication campaigns have been launched to address diabetes prevention among Indonesian adolescents from a multicultural perspective. The research also found that it is crucial for DMT2 prevention initiatives to develop effective strategies that can penetrate the subconscious mindset of individuals living in urban and rural areas while considering Indonesia's diverse cultural context. Efforts should be made to raise awareness and provide guidance tailored to different cultural backgrounds to combat the rising problem of diabetes among Indonesian youth.
