FCC, FDA to Host Workshop on Use of Wireless Test Beds
The Federal Communications Commission and the FDA will co-host a public workshop, “Promoting Medical Technology Innovation – The Role of Wireless Test Beds,” from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on March 31 at FCC Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Experts from industry, medicine, academia and government will convene to discuss the role of wireless test beds — environments where devices can be evaluated across a range of interference scenarios — in meeting the challenges of increasingly blurred boundaries between consumer health IT, medical devices and communications. The topic is particularly ripe as more consumers use wireless devices to support care management in the home, the FCC said.
The FCC’s Connect2HealthFCC Task Force is organizing the workshop as part of an FDA/FCC collaboration promoting medical technology innovation. View the agenda at www.fdanews.com/03-26-15-FCC-FDA.pdf. — Jason Scott
