Podcast Episode #7: DigArchitect

Digital Therapies in Practice

Experiences, Challenges, and Potential of DiGAs in ADHD

How can digital health applications (DiGA) be successfully integrated into everyday healthcare? One year after the BfArM’s provisional listing of the ADHD application ORIKO, Daria Radant, a member of the executive board and Head of Neuroscience at Takeda Germany, takes stock on the Forward Pharma Podcast.

As a digital architect, she explores the tension between technical innovation, regulatory requirements, and real-world care processes. The interview addresses practical hurdles such as the authorization process for e-prescriptions, the importance of co-creation and user feedback, and the need for a reliable regulatory framework to sustainably establish digital therapies within the healthcare system.

For Radant, one thing is very clear:

A sustainable digital health solution does not emerge from a sales silo: Only early-stage co-creation among pharmaceutical companies, startups, and the experiences of those affected can create genuine therapeutic value.

The ORIKO ADHD therapy was developed by a team of experts from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, MINDNET E-Health AG, and ADHD experts from Germany, and is distributed by Takeda Pharma GmbH.
