“Technology moves at an incredible pace, and we’re excited to have a committee of experts throughout the field who can help ensure our regulation of these exciting tools maintains an appropriate pace while working within parameters of safety and effectiveness standards,” Troy Tazbaz, director of the FDA’s Digital Health Center of Excellence said in a news release.
The committee is expected to be fully operational in 2024. It will consist of nine voting members, including the chair. The agency seeks individuals with diverse scientific and technical experience.
