FDA proposes regulation of mobile healthcare apps

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the FDA has introduced a proposal that would "allow it to regulate smartphone and tablet apps that relate to health and medical needs".

This might include apps for smartphones that measure blood pressure, ultrasound apps and handheld cancer detectors.

Is anyone working with students to help educate patients about the use of mobile electronic devices to monitor their health?
