Digital Home Health During The Covid-19 Pandemic Challenges To Safety, Liability, And Informed Consent, And The Way To Move Forward, Sara Gerke

Faculty Contributions to Books

In this chapter, I will first give an overview of the promise of digital home health. I will then discuss the regulation of digital home health before and during COVID-19 in the context of the US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). This will be followed by a discussion of three digital home health challenges during the pandemic: 1) safety, 2) liability, and 3) informed consent. In this context, I will also make suggestions on how to move forward.
