Summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will host a webinar for industry and other interested parties to discuss the Reducing Readmissions through Device Innovation for the Home (READI-Home) Innovation Challenge and answer questions about this Innovation Challenge.
Background
The goal of the READI-Home Innovation Challenge is to accelerate patient access to medical device technologies aimed at reducing hospital readmission. Innovation in this area has the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with chronic conditions and significantly reduce the financial and logistical burden on the health care system.
As part of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health’s (CDRH) Home as a Health Care Hub Initiative, the FDA invites innovators to pursue potential participation in the Innovation Challenge by providing proposed solutions for medical device technologies to be used in the home setting. These technologies would support patients and caregivers after an acute hospital stay and may help prevent avoidable readmissions.
