Top questions we’re answering lately

How does the January 2026 FDA guidance affect Clinical Decision Support (CDS) software?

1

On January 6, 2026, the FDA released revised guidance to reduce regulatory guesswork for digital health developers. The new framework clarifies which software functions are excluded from medical device regulation under the 21st Century Cures Act, specifically targeting low-risk general wellness products. Developers must now distinguish between "medical-grade" claims and general wellness to determine if their product requires formal FDA approval.

Have the federal telehealth waivers for remote prescribing been extended through 2026?

2

Yes, a fourth temporary extension currently allows DEA-registered practitioners to prescribe Schedule II-V controlled substances via telehealth without a prior in-person evaluation through December 31, 2026. This extension is intended to prevent care disruptions while permanent remote prescribing rules are finalized by federal agencies.

What are the new 2026 requirements for AI transparency in healthcare?

3

As of January 2026, several states (including Texas under HB 149) require healthcare providers to provide written disclosure to patients when AI systems are used in their treatment. Additionally, 2026 compliance audits are increasingly focusing on "Shadow AI"—the unauthorized use of AI tools by employees—which poses significant governance and data privacy risks to health organizations.
