Event Title
Virtual Public Meeting - Patient-Generated Health Data Throughout the Total Product Life Cycle of Medical Devices
May 4, 2021
- Date:
- May 4, 2021

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a virtual public meeting entitled "Patient-Generated Health Data Throughout the Total Product Life Cycle of Medical Devices". The purpose of this meeting is to discuss patient-generated health data (PGHD) and its potential impact across the healthcare ecosystem.
BACKGROUND
As stated in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology's webpage on Patient-Generated Health Data, PGHD includes health-related data that is created, recorded, or gathered by or from patients. Health and treatment history, biometric data, symptoms, and lifestyle habits can all be categorized as PGHD. The potential role of PGHD in the post-market surveillance of medical device safety was discussed during the FDA's Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (PEAC) meeting on November 15, 2018. The PEAC recommended additional discussions about the critical elements of this data and how it could be used across the medical device total product life cycle. To address those recommendations from the PEAC members, the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is hosting a meeting focusing on PGHD and its potential uses throughout the healthcare ecosystem. Sources of PGHD, data quality measures, interoperability, and potential impacts of the data in regulatory and healthcare settings will be discussed during this meeting.
This meeting is the intersection of CDRH efforts in patient science and engagement, real-world data and real-world evidence, and the Digital Health Center of Excellence. The FDA invites stakeholders from the medical device industry, patient organizations, research organizations, healthcare professionals, payors, and other interested individuals to join this discussion and provide their individual opinions on the use of PGHD in medical device development, evaluation, and monitoring. The topic details are provided in the Preliminary Agenda below.
DATE and TIME
This meeting will be held on May 4, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (ET) by webcast only.
