How Digital Therapeutics Can Turn Media Into Mental Healthcare

The growing mental health crisis in the U.S. has intensified the demand for innovative and accessible treatment options. In response, DeepWell DTx has introduced a groundbreaking biofeedback software development kit, which has recently received FDA approval. This technology enables the transformation of popular media, including video games and movies, into digital therapeutics, offering a new and engaging way to deliver mental health support.

With more than 20% of American adults experiencing mental illness, expanding access to care is crucial. A 2024 CDC survey reported a sharp rise in mental health concerns, with 65% of U.S. adults expressing anxiety about their own mental well-being or that of a family member, marking a significant increase from 50% in 2020.
