THREAD Enhances Digital Therapeutics (DTx) Studies with Clinical Research Technology

Purpose-built solution combines THREAD’s no-code clinical research platform, parallel DTx study workflows, and research expertise for customers

CARY, N.C., 03 NOV 2026 – THREAD, a leading no-code clinical research technology platform with scientific consulting for decentralized clinical trials (DCT) and electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA), today announced new technology features being utilized to enable complex Digital Therapeutics (DTx) studies on the platform. The companies’ purpose-built approach was designed with DTx customers to offer DTx specific configurations, integration functionality with the DTx to provide a single experience without intervention challenges and address a variety of design requirements not available in other platforms for a more fit-for-purpose solution.

Digital therapeutic studies have unique research requirements that require the patient/caregiver app and research site portal to work in parallel with the DTx. THREAD’s DTx solution is designed to bring these components together within a connected research environment, helping developers evaluate safety, efficacy, engagement, adherence, and patient outcomes, making it less complex to conduct a DTx study.

The solution provides DTx sponsors with access to a comprehensive set of configurable clinical research capabilities, including:

  1. Digital health technology integrations to incorporate data from DTx platforms and third-party connected devices, sensors, and wearables
  2. Ability to capture every DTx data point via eConsent, eCOA, eDiary, DHT and CRFs in the clinic and at home via telehealth virtual visits
  3. Participant engagement and retention tools that support both the study and DTx alerts without creating unwanted interventions
  4. Real-time reporting and analytics to provide study teams with greater visibility into study performance

“Digital therapeutic studies require a research approach that can move at the speed of the technology, integrative differently than drug studies and include the high-quality rigor required for clinical evidence generation,” said John Reites, Co-Founder, CEO of THREAD. “We are so grateful to work with our DTx sponsors and their CROs utilizing our approach as their partner.”
