The regulatory tool you’ve been waiting for

While the FTC shared a new tool to give health app developers clarity on the regulations that apply to them, we’re publishing this post to give you the latest updates on a very important healthcare API—and asking you to share your experiences to help shape policy around it.

One more thing we want to share: d.health Summit on 5/4 in NYC spurs creation and adoption of tech-enabled solutions to improve the health of aging Americans. Five early-rising readers get free tickets by responding here—and everyone else gets 10% off with the code ROCK.
