Health Technology

There’s been a digital transformation in healthcare over the last decade as the development and adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), mobile health devices, application programming interfaces (APIs), machine learning, and other digital health technologies have proliferated. Consumerism has fueled much of this growth, while the federal government has crafted policies to support implementation.

To meet the urgent needs for remote care amid the pandemic, federal regulators and payers enacted temporary flexibilities to facilitate access to telehealth and digital technologies. Now that stakeholders have experienced the benefits, the question has become whether governments and payers will continue to support these solutions beyond COVID-19.

With the recent establishment of the FDA’s Digital Health Center of Excellence – a new initiative to support and regulate digital health products – it appears the government will continue to play a major role in shaping the trajectory of health technology beyond the 2020 election.
