FDA says it has begun participating in three new collaborative communities in the medical device ecosystem. An agency [statement](https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USFDA/bulletins/37fa10b?ref=fdaweb.com) says a collaborative community is “a continuing forum in which private- and public-sector members, which can include FDA, work together on medical device challenges to achieve common objectives and outcomes. They are convened by interested stakeholders and may exist indefinitely, produce deliverables as needed, and tackle challenges with broad impacts.”

The new collaboratives the agency is working with are the AI Global Healthcare Initiative Collaborative Community, Infection Management Collaborative Community, and Systemic Harmonization and Interoperability Enhancement for Laboratory Data. They bring to 14 the total number of collaborative communities of which FDA is a member.
