The Digital Health Advisory Committee will advise the Commissioner of Food and Drugs on issues related to Digital Health Technologies (DHTs), and FDA policies and regulations about these technologies, providing relevant expertise and perspective to improve the FDA’s understanding of the benefits, risks, and clinical outcomes associated with use of DHTs, as well as identifying risks, barriers, or unintended consequences that could result from proposed or established FDA policy or regulation for topics related to DHTs.
