CSAT/CTN webinar: Digital therapeutics for substance use disorders.

This webinar was the fourth in a series of collaborative webinars between the CTN and CSAT. In this session, an overview of the state of the science of applying digital therapeutics (e.g., mobile, web-based therapeutic tools) to substance use disorder (SUD) care was presented (30 minutes). CSAT provided an overview of their portfolio on the intersection of digital technology and SUDs, and CSAT grantees provided a few examples of this work (30 minutes). The presentations were followed by a 30 minute discussion with meeting participants on challenges and opportunities in sustainable implementation of digital therapeutics in SUD care.
