ATA Action Acquires Digital Therapeutics Alliance
The voice for advocacy, policy, and advancement.
ATA Action, the advocacy arm of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), has acquired the Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA), a leading international organization representing stakeholders committed to advancing access to digital therapeutics (DTx). The combined organization creates a unified platform for policy and advocacy, focused on advancing innovative technologies that are transforming patient care. As part of this transaction, DTA members, their leadership team and staff, and established programs, resources and task groups are being integrated into ATA Action and the ATA.
This industry-defining alliance fosters a more effective and inclusive community for advancing telehealth and tech-enabled care, including digital therapeutics, digital diagnostics and remote monitoring devices.
Industry-leading Policy Expertise
ATA Action will continue to influence state and federal policy to secure legislation that supports the integration of telehealth in care delivery. With DTA’s expertise in digital health, ATA Action will also focus on expanding its leadership in policies affecting innovative technologies, including digital therapeutics and artificial intelligence (AI).
ATA Action’s success in shaping meaningful federal and state policies, combined with DTA’s focus on innovation and advocacy, will create a more robust advocacy platform to establish digital health—broadly defined—as a permanent and essential modality of care and drive essential policy changes:
- Expanded Federal and State Legislative Resources
- Expanded Regulatory Activity
- Expanded Opportunities for Innovation
- Improved Patient Access to Evidence-Based Digital Interventions
New Advancing Digital Health Coalition
ATA Action’s new Advancing Digital Health Coalition will build upon the work of the DTA, ensuring continued advocacy for innovative technologies that transform patient care. Priority areas of focus include digital therapeutics, Prescription Drug Use Related Software (PDURS), Digital Mental Health Treatment (DMHT) Devices, and remote monitoring devices. The coalition will also expand into additional areas, such as AI, digital diagnostics, and devices that support care at home and will continue to be on the bleeding edge of advancement in healthcare as new technologies emerge.
Enhanced Lobbying Support
The bipartisan ATA Action Political Action Committee (PAC) delivers enhanced representation on Capitol Hill and increased federal lobbying support to shape legislation that promotes innovation, eliminate barriers to care, and establish digital health as essential components of the U.S. healthcare system and beyond.
