Ep26: Pharmacy Meets DTx: Tim Aungst Shares How Pharmacy Services Can Support Digital Therapeutics

In this episode, we hear from Timothy Aungst, a clinician, academic, public speaker, writer and, of course, pharmacist. In 2016, Tim founded The Digital Apothecary as a blog specifically for pharmacists to provide news and resources related to digital health topics and interests. Tim is also an advisor at HealthXL, a Clinical Writer for GoodRx, a member of the Digital Therapeutics Alliance Healthcare Provider Advisory Group, and an Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
In this episode, we cover:

The role of the Pharmacist as it relates to DTx

How do we compare Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDT) versus traditional standards of care?

How are DTx dispensed? And how do pharmacists at the front lines feel about DTx?

Do pharmacy services need to be redesigned in the context of DTx?

Do DTx have drug interactions?

How do we train current and future learners about DTx and the digitization of healthcare?
