More On Mobile Medical Apps, And On Clinical Decision Support Systems

I have been running around a lot lately doing presentations on conferences about medical devices and software, so I though it would be useful to give you a round-up on that subject.

Medica and FDA guidance on mobile medical apps

To that end, I would like to share with you this presentation of today at the Medica 2011 in Düsseldorf, Europe's largest medical devices fair. I was invited to speak about the FDA's draft guidance on mobile medical apps, so I decided to – besides visit clients and my friends of the Continua Health Alliance to catch up – do that and also bridge the gap to the EU from that document. As I and others have argued before, this guidance works very well in the EU too. There are some novelties in this presentation: a summary of the comments to the FDA document and a timeline for the document.
