FDA launches health care at home initiative to drive equity in digital medical care
A highly ambitious FDA initiative will explore, through a hub and ideas lab, how equitable healthcare at home can be delivered, recognizing that this is unlikely to come about without intervention. Market forces, as shaped by current regulations, are leading to digital health tools developed and operating in islands rather than enabling integrated digital care. Can the initiative, which adopts system-level regulatory thinking, solve this issue?
