$23.7M Secured to Scale FDA-Cleared Digital Sleep, Anxiety Treatments

$23.7M secured to scale fda-cleared digital sleep, anxiety treatments. Following the establishment of new CMS reimbursement codes for digital mental health treatments, the funding will support the commercial expansion of two prescription products. Key takeaways: * Big Health raised $23.7 million in a round co-led by .406 Ventures and AlleyCorp to accelerate access to its prescription digital therapeutics. * The funding follows the introduction of G-codes in the 2025 Physician Fee Schedule, allowing Medicare reimbursement for FDA-cleared Digital Mental Health Treatments. * SleepioRx for insomnia and DaylightRx for generalized anxiety disorder are among nine FDA-cleared treatments in this new category. * The capital will be used to expand provider partnerships and integrate the therapeutics into clinical workflows. Big Health has completed a strategic funding round of $23.7 million to accelerate the adoption of its US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared digital therapeutics: SleepioRx for insomnia disorder and DaylightRx for generalized anxiety disorder. The funding comes as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implements a new payment policy for digital mental health treatments. The 2025 Physician Fee Schedule created specific G-codes that enable national Medicare coverage for FDA-cleared digital mental health treatments. SleepioRx and DaylightRx are among nine treatments currently recognized in this category, which distinguishes FDA-cleared medical devices from non-regulated wellness apps. CMS adopted three codes, G0552-G0554, for digital mental health treatment devices furnished under a behavioral health treatment plan of care. It also adopted six HCPCS codes that parallel the existing CPT codes for interprofessional consultations for use by certain nonphysician mental health professionals who CMS says cannot report the CPT codes with the goal of better integrating behavioral health treatment into primary care and other settings. "For the first time, providers can offer proven, safe, and effective digital treatments that deliver measurable, reproducible outcomes, and receive reimbursement just as they would for traditional treatments," says Yael Berman, CEO of Big Health, in a release. "We're already seeing the most innovative health systems seize this opportunity, and this funding will help us scale access to these treatments faster." The financing was co-led by .406 Ventures and AlleyCorp, with participation from CVS Health Ventures, Blue Venture Fund, Sandbox Clinical Ventures, Gilde Healthcare, and Supermoon Capital. The funds are earmarked to support commercialization efforts, including expanding strategic provider partnerships and integrating the digital therapeutics into clinical workflows. SleepioRx and DaylightRx are prescription digital therapeutics designed for use alongside usual care. To date, Big Health reports supporting more than 750,000 individuals. Clinical studies cited by the company show that up to 76% of SleepioRx patients achieve improvement in insomnia, while 71% of DaylightRx patients experience improvement in anxiety disorder Investors noted the significance of the new reimbursement landscape for digital health. "We are thrilled to be investing in the Big Health team as they unlock the potential created by CMS's wise decision to reimburse for FDA-cleared digital treatments targeting conditions where such an intervention is proven to be appropriate, superior to current pharmaceutical-only approaches, and ultimately better value for the system," says Liam Donohue, managing partner at .406 Ventures, in a release. Current adoption partners include health systems such as Henry Ford and Northwell. "There's a significant gap between people who need mental health care and those who can access it," says Alyssa Reisner, executive director and partner at CVS Health Ventures, in a release. "SleepioRx and DaylightRx can help fill that gap - offering first-line, evidence-based treatment for insomnia and anxiety at scale, where and when patients need it most."

New Research Demonstrates Clinical Effectiveness Of Digital Treatment At Improving Insomnia And Comorbid Mental And Physical Health Issues

"These new data show how treating sleep issues has health benefits across populations, conditions, and ages—rest helps heal our bodies and brains, and is essential to a healthy mind," Colin A. Espie, PhD, Prof. of Sleep Medicine, University of Oxford; co-founder, Chief Scientific Officer, Big Health Tweet thisEighty-four percent of improvements in anxiety among study participants using Sleepio were due to improvements in sleep.In a separate study among stroke survivors, 71% achieved remission using Sleepio compared to 30% of control participants.Improving sleep is a pathway to reduce anxietyIndividuals with insomnia are three times more likely to develop anxiety than healthy sleepers.[1] Additionally, comorbid insomnia and anxiety are associated with greater severity of both conditions — as well as increased symptoms of depression and poorer physical health.[2]Published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Affective Disorders, researchers found that Sleepio's clinically validated impact on insomnia also significantly reduced participants' anxiety symptoms — 84% of improvements in anxiety were due to improvements in sleep. The largest-ever study examining the effects of a digital therapeutic for insomnia in adults with insomnia and clinically significant anxiety, results also showed that after using Sleepio, participants were two times more likely to no longer have clinically significant anxiety versus those in the control arm."The results of our studies show that digital CBT for insomnia can bring about substantial improvements in sleep, and that leads to a lessening of anxiety and depression," Daniel Freeman, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Oxford and co-author of the paper, said. "Improving sleep likely brings a wide range of benefits in its wake."The impact of sleep on stroke recoveryGlobally, one in four people are estimated to experience stroke during their lifetime, and the disease is the third leading cause of disability and death combined.[3] Following stroke, up to 60% of patients report sleep challenges throughout the recovery period.[3] Sleep issues are associated with poorer post-stroke outcomes[4] and higher rates of comorbidity, including anxiety and depression.[5]The peer-reviewed Journal of Sleep Research published results from the INSPIRES study, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comprising 84 stroke survivors demonstrating that Sleepio was effective at improving sleep, compared with sleep hygiene control, for at least eight weeks post-intervention. Results also showed that, among participants who had insomnia disorder at baseline, 71% in the Sleepio study arm achieved remission post-intervention compared to 30% of control participants
