I can certainly understand wanting to qualify a mobile app that controls an insulin pump or something like that (Appendix C), but Appendix B indicates the FDA intends to regulate applications that "are intended for individuals to log, record, track, evaluate, or make decisions or behavioral suggestions related to developing or maintaining general fitness, health or wellness" such as meal logs, calorie counters, exercise activity, brain games, etc. Sounds like you can kiss a whole bunch of useful apps goodbye as they get regulated out of existence.

Isn't this exactly what Square has done for some time? Nothing new here... move along.
Nice website you've got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it.
