By GlobalData“Today, we are excited to broaden our offerings as we continue this journey towards improved patient care and clinical outcomes by growing our partnership with Propeller Health, the leader in their field of digital therapeutics.”
Aptar has also strategically invested $10m in Propeller Health during a recent funding round.
The companies plan to co-market the digital medicine platform. Under the arrangement, Propeller will manage the digital services, while Aptar will be responsible for the device development, manufacturing and supply chain.
Propeller Health co-founder and CEO David Van Sickle said: “We’re excited to expand our relationship with Aptar and apply our expertise to new diseases. Our end-to-end infrastructure enables fast, flexible and secure development and commercialisation of digital medicines.”
Digital medicines are designed for personalised treatment, real-time monitoring, detection of day-to-day disease changes and enhancing patient adherence. They are expected to primarily increase patient outcomes and minimise healthcare costs.
