By GlobalDataThis clearance follows Big Health’s recent FDA approval of SleepioRx for insomnia disorder and comes at a time when the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule has proposed funding FDA-cleared digital mental health treatments, potentially broadening access to these innovative therapies.
DaylightRx builds upon Big Health’s existing digital care programme, Daylight, which has been supporting individuals for over five years.
Big Health plans to continue offering Daylight, alongside its suite of clinically-proven digital care programmes.
Big Health CEO Yael Berman said: “For too long, patients seeking non-drug treatment options for anxiety have had limited choices.
“Now, with our FDA-cleared treatment, we’re offering a powerful alternative with remission rates of over 70%. With this clearance, there is now an accessible non-medication option that patients can trust.”
