Abstract:
Digital therapeutics (DTx) are applied healthcare technologies designed to prevent, manage, or treat health conditions. In pediatric pain, DTx can enhance access to evidence-based, effective pain assessment and management. This article explores technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality (XR), mobile health (mHealth), and sensors (eg, smartwatches). Equitable DTx deployment can address geographic disparities by enabling on-demand pain care, necessitating an intelligent learning DTx-enabled health system. Ensuring safety will require comprehensive regulatory frameworks at national and international levels. Achieving this transformation requires robust regulatory frameworks, workforce training, and equitable codesign to ensure accessible, evidence-based care for all pediatric populations.
