Support for smart combinations and converging regulations.
Six fundamental types of drug-device combinations illustrate how digital tools can enhance pharmaceutical treatments.
- Support: Focuses on adherence and managing side effects and ensuring overall patient well-being during the primary treatment.
- Priming: Administering treatments beforehand to induce protective adaptations.
- Maintenance: Continuous treatment aimed at preventing disease recurrence or maintaining remission after initial success.
- Adjacent: Treatment given alongside the primary therapy for a complementary effect.
- Concurrent: Multiple treatments administered simultaneously to create a synergistic effect.
- Chronotherapy: Treatment timed to align with the body’s natural rhythms, enhancing effectiveness and reducing side effects.
