Pear Therapeutics may be gone, but one of its most important deals is still driving critical conversations about how medical apps can find a foothold in the slow-moving health care system.

The data, which take into account health care utilization before and after people used the apps, have been presented to policymakers considering how to cover novel digital health products and shown to lawmakers considering federal legislation that would require Medicare coverage for prescription apps.
