Statement from FDA Commissioner and Center for Devices and Radiological Health Director on agency efforts to work with tech industry to spur innovation in digital health
12 September 2018 - Owing to digital advances, we’re experiencing a reimagination of health care delivery.
Consumers are now empowered to take more control of their own health information to make better informed decisions about their medical care and healthy living. These advances enable better health outcomes for patients.
This opportunity is supported by a new technological paradigm of digital health tools, like apps, that enable consumers to have more active engagement and access to real-time information about their health and activities. These tools allow consumers and providers to supersede the traditional, physical constraints of health care delivery and make the most of the opportunities offered by mobile technology.
