The purpose of this meeting is for the FDA and FCC to gain a better understanding of the convergence of communications technologies and medical devices, the future of wireless health technologies, and the challenges they face. Our goal is to enhance coordination between FDA and FCC for future devices and applications, and to clarify and delineate the respective areas of expertise and jurisdiction between the agencies. This meeting marks the beginning of a process through which the agencies will provide appropriate clarifications in the future based on the input gathered.
