A Policy of Trust: Software Developer Pre-Certification as a Viable Solution to Protect Patients and Promote Innovation for 'mHealth' Applications

Colorado Technology Law Journal

March 2019

By: Andrew Neiman

“The number of mobile medical applications (“mHealth apps”) available on the market has more than doubled in recent years with incredible potential for expanding access to healthcare.

“The FDA has therefore chosen to employ a Software PreCertification Pilot Program (“PreCert Program”), where it plans to regulate mHealth apps by preapproving the developer rather than the product. This Note argues that the PreCert Program is an effective policy to sidestep regulatory issues for mHealth apps, so long as the FDA adopts certain measures to protect consumers and encourage innovation.”
