Penn Center for Information, the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, and Penn Medicine present the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Speaker Series on the topic "Medical Apps and Devices: FDA, FTC and State & Federal Guidelines."
Years ago, if someone told you that computers would replace doctors for medical treatment, you would have laughed. While we have yet to reach this paradigm, mobile medical applications and devices have come to the forefront of medical treatment and have provided benefits to many patients and consumers. But with this advancement in medical treatment comes several risks that could affect patients’ safety as well as their privacy and security interests.
Join Pepper attorneys Barry H. Boise and Michael D. Vives as they discuss what qualifies as a mobile medical application and/or device, the regulators that protect consumers of mobile medical applications and devices, and the privacy and security risks associated with the manufacturing and distribution of these applications and devices. The topics covered will include:
- general overview of mobile medical applications and devices
- Food and Drug Administration enforcement
- Federal Trade Commission enforcement
- State Attorneys General and Congressional regulation
Lunch will be provided.
