White House releases guidance on federal AI use and procurement
By  Jessica Hagen 02:05 pm April 14, 2025
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released two memos directed to the heads of all executive branch departments and agencies establishing policies on federal AI use and purchase of AI in government.  The memos, which align with an Executive Order President Donald Trump signed in January, replace former President Joe Biden's previous guidance (M-24-10 and M-24-18) but maintain...

09:07 am March 29, 2018
President Donald Trump ousted Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Dr. David Shulkin, from his role on Wednesday after months of turmoil within the agency and reports the secretary had fallen from the president’s graces.

How digital health is empowering Trump's SOTU healthcare priorities
By  Laura Lovett 03:44 pm January 31, 2018
Healthcare was a much anticipated topic in President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address — in fact, a Politico poll showed that 82 percent of Americans wanted to hear the president address the healthcare system over other divisive discussion points. While he did briefly touch on some healthcare related topics, like making drugs more affordable and getting rid of the Affordable Care Act's...
New FDA commissioner lays out bold new plan for mobile app regulation
By  Jonah Comstock 03:55 pm June 15, 2017
Back in March, when President Donald Trump chose Dr. Scott Gottlieb to head up the FDA under his administration, MobiHealthNews noted that he had a history of advocating for a hands-off approach to mobile health regulation. Now, just three months later (and a little over a month after his confirmation to the post), Gottlieb has articulated his new -- and somewhat radical -- approach to mobile...
HHS nominee Price weighs in on telemedicine, innovation, and regulation in finance hearing
By  Jonah Comstock 05:02 pm January 25, 2017
On Tuesday, Representative Tom Price, President Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, faced his second confirmation hearing, this time before the Senate Finance Committee (previously he had gone before the Health committee). In between questions about Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, his questionable investments, and his relationship with President Trump, Price fielded some...
A look ahead at digital health and health policy under President Trump
By  MobiHealthNews 04:00 pm January 20, 2017
Healthcare wasn’t exactly priority number one in President Donald Trump’s inaugural address this morning. In fact, despite the apparently looming repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the only reference to healthcare in the whole speech was a vague promise, buried with two or three other vague promises, to "to free the Earth from the miseries of disease”. Whether this is a veiled promise to increase...
What the FDA did in digital health in 2016
By  Jonah Comstock 01:42 pm December 30, 2016
Over and above clearing a number of devices, the FDA had a busy year in 2016, passing a number of draft and final guidances related to digital health, having some notable conversations with vendors, and even turning down some devices whose FDA clearance was expected this year. We've rounded up the year's 510(k)'s in a separate article, but here's a rundown on some of the other actions the...
Lisa Suennen joins GE Ventures, Trump health picks, and two more digital health hires
By  Jonah Comstock 04:03 pm December 1, 2016
Digital health hires news has been on the slow side around the holiday season, but there is at least one big piece of personnel news: Lisa Suennen, a digital health-focused investor, has joined GE Ventures as Managing Director, focused on healthcare.  Suennen invested with Psilos Group from 1998 to 2014 and for the last two years has been doing deals and consulting at her own firm, Venture...
What will a Trump presidency mean for digital health?
By  Jonah Comstock 03:41 pm November 11, 2016
The unexpected election of Donald Trump who, as a candidate, was weak on specific policy promises, has mired a lot of industries in uncertainty about their future, but perhaps none more so than healthcare. The Republican party has long sought to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, a landmark piece of legislation that has affected most parts of the healthcare landscape since it was passed in 2010...
