Prescribing Rejoyn
Unlike wellness apps, the Rejoyn app is in a class of software-based treatments called prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs). Rejoyn is authorized by the FDA and requires a prescription from a healthcare provider.1
FDA device regulations define the pediatric population as any patient less than 22 years of age. Rejoyn is a medical device, and it is indicated for adults age 22+ with major depressive disorder who are on antidepressant medication.
There are 2 ways to prescribe Rejoyn: e-prescribe or refer for a virtual consult. If you are a licensed prescriber, you can prescribe Rejoyn through your electronic health record system. If you are a behavioral health clinician, you can refer patients for a virtual consult on the patient website.
Whether you e-prescribe or refer for a virtual consult, a patient's prescription will be sent directly to BlinkRx—this is the online pharmacy that dispenses access codes for Rejoyn.
Licensed prescribers can learn how to find BlinkRx in the electronic medical record here.

Patient Support
The following are topics you may want to cover with your patients. Rejoyn:

- Is authorized by the FDA1
- Provides 6 weeks of brain-training exercises and short skills-based therapy lessons1
- Reduced symptoms without side effects related to Rejoyn in a clinical trial (when added to an antidepressant)1
- Taps into the brain's natural ability to change (known as neuroplasticity)2,3
Visit the patient site for more patient-friendly resources.
Patients should plan to use Rejoyn 3 to 6 days a week for 6 weeks. Completing the CET brain-training exercises in Rejoyn takes about 20-30 minutes each, and the CBT-based video lessons take about 5 minutes each. Patients access treatment on their smartphone, on their own time. New exercises are unlocked at midnight the day they become available and expire at the end of each week. It’s important to note that at the end of each week, patients will lose access to the previous week’s exercises. They will, however, retain access to any lessons that have yet to be completed.
It’s ok to let your patients know that they may find the exercises challenging. Remind them that it’s not about the number of matches they make—as long as they are consistently completing the exercises, they’re doing them correctly. You can find more information to share with your patients here.
CBT=cognitive behavioral therapy; CET=cognitive-emotional training.
Nurse support, including adherence support, is available for your patients. Patients can opt in through the app at any time and agree to share data about their treatment with the nurse support program. Rejoyn end-to-end nurse support can provide patients with support calls to help them stay on track.
Results from the clinical trial suggest that patients who consistently completed the exercises and finished the program could benefit most from Rejoyn. In a clinical trial, 88.1% of patients (n=177) adhered to Rejoyn, completing at least 12 of the 18 treatment sessions.2
Let your patients know that Rejoyn Patient Support nurses are available to help check in on patient progress and help them stay on track at no charge.

More About Rejoyn
Rejoyn is a prescription digital therapeutic for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) symptoms as an adjunct to clinician-managed outpatient care for adult patients with MDD age 22 years and older who are on antidepressant medication. It is intended to reduce MDD symptoms.2 Read more about Rejoyn here.
Rejoyn is not intended to be used as a standalone therapy or a substitute for medication. Patients should continue their current treatment as directed.2
Rejoyn does not monitor the patient’s symptoms or clinical status and cannot send or receive alerts or warnings to the prescriber. Patients should be clearly instructed that if they believe their depression is worsening or if they have feelings or thoughts of harming themselves or others, to contact a healthcare professional, dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.2
Recent research suggests neural network disruption can cause MDD symptoms. Imaging of patients with MDD shows hyperactivity in emotion centers like the amygdala and hypoactivity in cognitive areas like the prefrontal cortex. Rejoyn is different from medication and psychotherapy in that it was designed specifically to target dysregulated connectivity between these 2 regions, strengthening the connections between them.
