The New Smartphone Clinic: Moving Far Beyond a Video Call with On-Demand Physiologic Measurements
May 26, 2026 | Virtual | 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | MDIC Members Only
How do we successfully transform everyday smartphones into highly regulated, deeply trusted clinical tools? This session breaks down the technical, regulatory, and market hurdles of developing physiological measurement apps. By bringing together device manufacturers, digital developers, the FDA, and patient advocates, we will explore how collaborative innovation is driving the next wave of accessible healthcare.
Innovators Circle Details
The frontier of digital health is no longer just in the clinic—it is in the pockets of consumers. However, with over 60 companies developing fragmented, single-use physiological measurement apps, the industry is facing a critical bottleneck: app overload.
Join Arna Ionescu Stoll from WavelyDx for an MDIC Innovator Circle session that explores the evolution of smartphone-based diagnostics. This presentation is designed for a cross-functional audience of digital health developers, traditional medical device manufacturers (MDM), patient advocates, and regulatory professionals. We will unpack the complex journey of turning ubiquitous consumer hardware into reliable Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) through Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) models.
As a case study, Arna will share WavelyDx’s strategic pivot toward direct consumer empowerment—bypassing traditional fee-for-service bottlenecks to put actionable data directly into patients’ hands. Whether you are navigating FDA pathways for low-risk tools, engineering UX for non-clinical users, or advocating for better at-home care, this session will provide a roadmap for building a unified, consumer-centric digital health ecosystem.
