On June 15, 2017, U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., announced that the FDA is preparing to launch a Digital Health Innovation Plan.
The DHIP will resolve some of the ambiguity that exists regarding how the FDA approaches new technologies, allowing innovators to invest their time and resources more wisely.
