Case Study:
Developing a Regulatory Strategy for a Patient-Centric Digital App

This case study highlights how a biopharma company successfully launched a therapy-agnostic app to support the patient journey for a rare pulmonary disease, navigating regulatory requirements and patient engagement challenges.

Key highlights include:

  • Challenge: Assess the regulatory landscape and organizational readiness for a patient-focused app that helps evaluate disease progression risks.
  • Approach:
    • Conducted multiple rounds of patient feedback to refine app features and ensure they met user needs.
    • Evaluated app classification to determine if it would be regulated as a medical device.
    • Mapped system architecture for data storage and integration with HCP clinical parameters.
    • Reviewed organizational policies and governance structures to align with digital therapeutics requirements.
  • Outcome: The app empowered patients and caregivers, fulfilled unmet needs, and established a roadmap for future digital therapeutics development.
