title: The FDA's role in the development of medical mobile applications.
abstract: The use of mobile apps is revolutionizing health-care delivery and has the potential to transform health care by allowing doctors to diagnose patients with potentially life-threatening conditions outside traditional health-care settings, as well as helping consumers manage their own health and wellness and gain access to useful information when and where they need it.
