In this episode of the DTx Podcast, Eugene Borukhovich hosts Philip Heimann, CEO of Vivira, a prominent player in the DTx landscape in Germany.
"The genesis of Vivira was the need for personalized movement therapy - we wanted to provide people with a solution that was made just for them," says Philip.
This necessity led to the development of an innovative digital therapeutic solution that has made a significant impact in the market.
Eugene and Philip dive into the profound impact of the DiGA law in Germany, passed in 2019, on Vivira's market growth. This legislation enabled general reimbursement and physician involvement in prescribing the app, marking a pivotal turning point for the company and the broader DTx landscape in Germany.
In addition, Philip sheds light on the challenges faced by DTx startups in understanding the market complexities and securing suitable funders. He stresses the importance of selecting investors who can offer long-term support and emphasizes the significance of focusing on long-term goals and building high-value companies.
1. [05:30] What challenges did Vivira face in the early stages, being almost exclusively angel-funded, and how did this contribute to the development of their DTx solution?
2. [10:45] What pivotal role has the DiGA law played in enabling Viveira's growth in the market, and what are the implications of this legislation for other DTx companies in Germany?
3. [15:20] How has Vivira's approach of not starting in the direct-to-consumer market and focusing on the DIGA prescription model influenced its journey and success in the DTx space?
4. [20:10] What is the significance of high-quality clinical evidence, particularly RCT studies, for achieving permanent listing under the DiGA law?
5. [25:40] What are the challenges and potential solutions regarding the activation of digital therapies prescribed by doctors?
6. [30:15] As a serial entrepreneur, what critical advice does Philip have for DTX startups in navigating the complexities of the market and choosing investors?

There are two kinds of people in the world, says Brent Vaughan — those who prefer to make incremental changes with a lower likelihood of failure, and those who aspire to fix (seemingly) intractable problems that have stymied others. Brent falls in the latter category. A serial entrepreneur, former venture capitalist, and current CEO of Cognito Therapeutics (a DTx company that specializes in neurodegenerative diseases), Brent is also uniquely positioned to evaluate the future of next generation digital therapeutics.
Brent and Eugene talk about the differences between prescription and business-to-consumer DTx, the importance of engaging patients and users early on in the development of novel products, and the exciting potential of translational DTx solutions. Eugene’s podcast partner, Brian Dolan, also pops in with a question.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that has been in use for decades. My guest in this episode believes that CBT can be applied to create better therapeutics, and, in fact, that’s exactly what his company is called: Better Therapeutics.
Dr. Mark Berman, the Chief Medical Officer at Better Therapeutics, explained that the goal of CBT is to “help people change some of those core beliefs, which then directly influence what we do on a day to day basis.”
And while CBT was originally applied to help people with conditions like PTSD, anxiety and depression, the team at Better Therapeutics have developed their own variant of CBT to apply the core principles of CBT to the ideas that drive root behaviors like diet, exercise and other supportive lifestyle behaviors.
Tune into this episode to hear how Better Therapeutics are creating new digital treatments to reverse the progression of cardiometabolic disease, improve quality of life and inform clinical decisions.
In this episode, we cover:
Patient experience using digital therapeutics for type 2 diabetes
Nutritional CBT – Better Therapeutics innovative new form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Why companies are opting to create Prescription Digital Therapies rather than self-managed lifestyle apps
What’s next in the Better Therapeutics pipeline and how these decisions are made
The future of Digital Therapeutic infrastructure

This year the digital therapeutics space took a hit with the downfall of Pear Therapeutics, one of the most well-known of the industry’s still-active pioneers.
