Accepted 2024 ATTD Peer-Reviewed Abstract
The late-breaking abstract findings further validate the use of AspyreRx™ as a safe and effective treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The abstract highlights statistically significant improvements in HbA1c, blood pressure, weight, mood, and quality of life in patients treated with AspyreRx compared to a Standard of Care control group at 180 days. AspyreRx patients also experienced significantly fewer adverse events and medication increases, thereby indicating meaningful reductions in overall healthcare utilization.
Abstract Submission Number: 1282

About AspyreRx
AspyreRx (formerly BT-001) was granted marketing authorization by the FDA in July 2023 as the first prescription-only digital therapeutic to treat adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). AspyreRx is backed by robust data demonstrating clinically meaningful and sustained reduction in A1c as well as improvements in other markers of cardiometabolic health when used up to 180 days. Using proven techniques that target the underlying psychological, behavioral, and cognitive factors that sustain or worsen T2D, AspyreRx is a self-paced, engaging experience that patients can access from their smartphone. It is prescribed by a healthcare provider in 90-day increments, with proprietary CBT delivered digitally in a weekly step-by-step process. Through interactive therapy lessons, skill-building modules, weekly goal setting and tracking, patients connect changes in behavior to improvements in blood sugar and other biometrics. Each step in the experience builds on the prior to enable and reinforce cognitive restructuring, building the emotional resilience and acceptance needed to make enduring changes.
Indications for Use
AspyreRx is a prescription-only digital therapeutic device intended to provide cognitive behavioral therapy to patients 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes. The device targets behavior to aid in the management of type 2 diabetes in patients who are under the care of a healthcare provider. AspyreRx provides cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment that should be used adjunctively with standard of care.
