Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a co-sponsored public workshop with the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) titled "Using Patient-Generated Health Data in Medical Device Development: Case Examples of Implementation Throughout the Total Product Life Cycle." The purpose of this co-sponsored public workshop is to illustrate how patient-generated health data (PGHD) can promote medical device innovation throughout the total product life cycle (TPLC). Patients, industry sponsors, regulators, and researchers will share their perspectives on how using PGHD can help advance remote clinical trial data collection and support clinical outcome assessments. The co-sponsored public workshop participants are slated to discuss how using PGHD in medical device development can promote improvements in patient science, patient engagement, and health equity.

Background

The FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is committed to amplifying the patient voice in the service of equitable access to safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices. PGHD has the potential to help the CDRH meet this commitment in line with our strategic priority of advancing health equity. CDRH has been formally exploring and advancing the collection of PGHD since 2016.1 This co-sponsored public workshop builds upon the past work – including the Patient Engagement Advisory Committee meeting in 20182 and a public meeting in 20213 – by discussing case examples of how PGHD has been incorporated at the different phases of the TPLC.

The aims of this co-sponsored public workshop are to explore how patient-generated health data can achieve the following:

  • Advance remote clinical trial data collection and support clinical outcome assessments.
  • Capture patient perspectives and reduce patient burden to inform clinical study design and conduct, with a goal of reducing barriers to patient participation and facilitating recruitment and retention.
  • Improve patient science tools for medical devices and advance health equity through targeted incorporation of diverse patient perspectives and integration of data from diverse patients.

Date and Time

This meeting will be held on June 26-27, 2024, from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm (ET) by webcast only.
