Digbi Health AI Powered Digital Therapeutics Platform for Polychronic Illnesses Expands to Manage Mental Health
/MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Digbi Health, an AI-powered, precision digital therapeutics platform that uses gut microbiome and host genetic information, expands its digital health platform to manage several mental health and psychiatric disorders under the FDA's Enforcement Policy for Digital Health Devices For Treating Psychiatric Disorders during the Coronavirus Public Health Emergency.
Digbi Mental Health™ was created to improve the mental health and well-being of members during periods of shelter-in-place, isolation and quarantine and serves as an adjunct to clinician-supervised, outpatient treatment to its members.
A real world study of 275 Digbi Health members reveals clinically significant reductions in Anxiety, Insomnia & Depression symptoms linked to improved gut health. The human gut microbiome has been called a "second brain" because it is responsible for the synthesis and metabolism of critical neurotransmitters and hormones, like serotonin and dopamine, implicating gut health in the so-called gut-brain axis. In fact, it is estimated that 90% of serotonin is made in the digestive tract.
