FDA launches app for EHR data collection

Editor's Note

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recently launched a new app to help streamline electronic health record (EHR) data collection for researchers, The November 7 EHR Intelligence reports.

Using the MyStudies app, researchers can access patient-generated health data, EHR patient data, and claims and billing information for use in clinical trials and observational studies.

These studies may help inform future regulatory decisions as researchers gain a better understanding of how new drugs and medical/surgical products affect patients.
