Nationwide ‘roadshow’ to educate mHealth app developers about FDA regulations
FierceMobileHealthcare, January 16, 2014
“It’s really all about innovation and regulation, and showing that they can be compatible,” Bradley Merrill Thompson, the mHealth Regulatory Coalition’s general counsel and the chairman of the steering committee for the MMA Roadshow program, told FierceMobileHealthcare. “We need innovation. Patients need innovation. Our economy needs innovation. But, we also need product safety and we need discipline. And, these are not mutually exclusive. What’s so exciting is that there are so many people, many of them from the IT industry with no healthcare background, now innovating in healthcare. So, we want to reach out to those people to help them.”
