One importnt aspect right now is, differently from, for example, the medical device field, the medical IT/health informatics field is not that regulated (and the regulations nowadays are somewhat scattered) - and a lot of things are really blurring at the moment. However, due to the increasing concern with the subject, regulators are becoming aware of the possible need of regulatory enforcement actions (iphone health apps, anyone?). This forum will also come in handy, anticipating and providing ground for discussion of future regulations on the field.
