Introducing Medication TargetingSM from Big Health and CVS Health®
Providing safe and effective non-drug options for mental health conditions
In collaboration with CVS Health®, all patients who fill a common mental health medication prescription are offered immediate access to Big Health’s digital therapeutics, Sleepio for insomnia and Daylight for anxiety, as an option alongside their medications.
“Big Health combines the safety and effectiveness of human therapy with the scalability and accessibility and equity of drugs.”
How Medication TargetingSM works
Through Big Health’s collaboration with CVS Health®, patients will now have access to Big Health’s two digital therapeutics: Sleepio for insomnia disorder and Daylight for generalized anxiety disorder.
Filling a critical gap in the mental health care space
Over 80% of mental health patients are treated with medications that often come with unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects1. However, behavioral interventions are widely considered a safer and equally effective option.
Medication targeting addresses these challenges by:
1. Offering cognitive behavioral techniques, the approach recommended as a first-line treatment for worry and anxiety by Anxiety & Depression Association of America.2
2. Providing treatment which has led to to 76% insomnia remission and 71% anxiety remission among participants in clinical trials.3, 4
3. Meeting the needs of the 75% of patients who would prefer a non-drug option to treat their mental health conditions.5
