A new study shows a digital therapeutic for insomnia works, but with important caveats.

The companies says such networks are key to making digital transformations a reality.

Technology is often focused on administrative tasks. Some healthcare leaders say it also can help fix the sector’s labor shortage by diving into patient care.

The digital therapy product combines cognitive behavioral therapy with financial incentives to encourage abstinence. Lack of side effects may be a selling point.

GrayMatters Health hopes to use its technology for other mental health indications in the future.

People in urban and rural areas saw similar improvement from a digital health program that comprised patient education, an exercise program, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Systematic review suggests small amounts of data can be used to re-identify individuals.

Take a look into this month's cover story series of the companies, trends and ideas that are shaking things up and reshaping the contour of how healthcare is paid for and delivered. Below spotlights business process management firm Sagility and its chief growth officer, Sohail Djariri, who breaks down payment integrity when it comes to fraud detection.

The goal of the application programming interface (API) is to ensure accurate data collection without burdening patients or biasing the data.

The app’s backers believe the app could be a meaningful advancement in maternal care by making it easier to identify possible anemia in pregnant women.

A new study showed a smartphone app is associated with improvements in HbA1c levels and other measurements indicative of well-managed diabetes. The authors note, though, that benefit may come from greater physician involvement with patients and other factors related to the app.

Several firms are trying to bring the clinical laboratory to patients’ doorsteps, but the task comes with plenty of challenges.
