        @Atul_Gawande @atulbutte FDA should definitely regulate mobile apps, given that doctors plan to "prescribe" them: http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2013/03/13/how-should-apps-be-prescribed/ …

        @Atul_Gawande your view re: FDA regs of mobile apps? Process doesn't seem fit for it currently. Will stifle new ones. Maybe not bad?

        @Atul_Gawande nope. apps change behaviors. Not physiology. Docs already can recommend behavior change w/o an Rx.

        @Atul_Gawande @atulbutte It really depends on our definition of intervention. A form of regulation is needed though.
