*Federal Register* notice: CDRH is announcing a 9/6 Patient Engagement Advisory Committee meeting that will discuss and make recommendations on advancing health equity in medical devices. The Center says technology, including digital health technology, may help bridge gaps in health equity by extending access and bringing healthcare to patients at home, at work, and in their communities. The committee will also discuss considerations for improving reach and comprehension of CDRH’s patient and caregiver communications across diverse demographic groups. Additionally, it will discuss patient-focused considerations for when a device should be evaluated in diverse populations.
