FTC creates interactive tool for mobile health application developers

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) created an interactive tool for mobile health application (app) developers. The tool was created so that developers could self-teach rules and regulations regarding the creation of applications, especially those that are privacy related. After answering "yes" or "no" to a variety of questions, the tool lists which regulatory frameworks will or will not apply to the mobile health application in question. Users will also find a glossary section filled with links to related federal laws. To access the interactive tool, click here.
