Nordic digital therapeutics company SidekickHealth is partnering with pharma giant Pfizer to launch a digital therapeutics platform, in a deal thought to be worth more than $8 million.
The solution combines scientific expertise and digital technologies, giving patients a tool to help them maintain healthy lifestyles and improve their disease management and quality of life, while providing guidance and resources to facilitate easier and faster communication with healthcare professionals.
The platform will initially be rolled out in Finland and made available for ulcerative colitis (UC) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria later this year, with plans to eventually expand the reach.
