Digital Therapeutics, a new genre for games has been introduced in the world recently. Also known as DTx, Digital Therapeutics are applications, games, or virtual realities that help patients cure certain diseases digitally. The benefit of using DTx is that patients can reduce their reliance on drug medications. As high usage of drug medications has always been controversial due to the possibilities of negative side effects in chemicals, digital therapeutics seem to be a much more compelling trend for both patients and doctors in the 21st century.

DTxs are treated as official medication, and developers need to follow a precise procedure in providing it. Digital therapeutics are required to have a particular purpose to cure or prevent certain diseases and need to be proven through experiments that it affects those diseases. After being approved by the FDA, the software can be distributed to the doctors who can then prescribe to the patients.

The first digital therapeutic, however, was more of a management system. reSET, developed by Pear Therapeutics in December 2018, was designed to help cognitive behavior through therapy and lessons. Recently in June 2020, the first video game released as a digital therapeutic had appeared. EndeavorRx, developed by Akili Interactive Labs, is an action video game that helps to increase the attention span of children who are ADHD patients. To make sure all patients can play, the game has simple controls, with tilting the device to move the character and pressing the screen to remove enemy targets in the way.

Though only in its infancy, digital therapeutics currently gained a market size worth around $3 billion and is expected to grow abruptly to $13.8 billion in 2027. This expected growth in the DTx market is not an ignorable fact for the gaming industry. Through analysis, more game companies might jump to develop higher-quality games to help patients with psychological disorders as much as possible.
