By Anna (Ronning) Cohen and Hilde Viroux, PA Consulting
We’re all seeing it in real time: Healthcare is increasingly shifting from clinical settings to our homes. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of at-home monitoring products and many are collecting data in the background without requiring specific user action. This acceleration is not likely to slow down post-pandemic. In this article, we define “passive at-home monitoring tools” as non-invasive products that continuously monitor elements of health and collect the user’s data without the direct supervision of a healthcare professional. Take, for example, smart devices such as the Apple Watch or a biosensor patch neither requires operation from the user to collect data, so we consider them to be passive at-home monitoring tools.

The healthcare and life science industry has been undergoing a digital transformation, and the global COVID-19 public health emergency has accelerated the development of at-home monitoring products. With this shift, at-home monitoring devices are focusing on a passive approach collecting data in the background. Understanding the regulatory compliance landscape is critical for getting these products on the market and in patients’ hands quickly. In this article, we define “passive at-home monitoring products” as non-invasive products that continuously monitor elements of health and collect the user’s data without the direct supervision of a healthcare professional. Organizations must take the following three key compliance aspects into consideration to ensure success.
