Policy Statements
- We advocate for policies that support access to digital health technologies and services that mitigate existing and potential barriers to high quality medical care based on geography, age, ethnicity, race, gender, disability, mobility status, or socioeconomic status.
- We support policies that build upon innovations in digital health, such as greater use of wearables, artificial intelligence, machine learning, sensors, facial and voice recognition, natural language processing, virtual, mixed, and augmented reality and advance the use of these innovations to ensure they are codified and sustained in public and commercial health care plans.
- We support policies that foster and encourage comprehensive, quality sustaining coverage and reimbursement for digital health technologies.
