The FDA's final guidance on the regulation of mobile medical apps, released on Monday, clarifies what will and won't be governed by the agency and gives consumers a forum to ask questions and see examples.
The scenario may be far-fetched at present, but those participating in a medical device panel at the HIMSS Privacy & Security Forum this week say providers have to be more vigilant about medical device security.
In delivering the eagerly-awaited guidelines, the agency says it will regulate mobile health apps the way it handles medical devices, focusing on the products that pose the greatest risks.
