Better Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BTTX), a pioneer in developing prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) to treat cardiometabolic diseases, today announced the commercial launch of AspyreRx, the first cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) app to receive U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization as a Class II device to treat adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). AspyreRx is a prescription-only therapy, backed by a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that demonstrated statistically and clinically significant durable reductions in A1c at 90 and 180 days vs. the standard of care control group. The RCT also resulted in statistically significant improvements in blood pressure, weight, mood, and quality of life, as well as having lower medication utilization and fewer adverse events vs. the control group. Licensed healthcare providers are now able to prescribe AspyreRx, and the app is available for download on the Apple App and Google Play Stores.
AspyreRx delivers a novel form of CBT developed by Better Therapeutics, specifically for the treatment of T2D. Rooted in the fundamental belief that behaviors are learned and can be transformed through systematic techniques and interventions, AspyreRx provides a tailored experience to help patients make meaningful and sustainable behavioral changes to improve their diabetes management. AspyreRx is accessible through a smartphone app and is prescribed for a 90-day treatment period.
