O zodpovednosti SW vývojárov pri medicínskych aplikáciách

Malá úvaha od Kevina MD:

To be fair, liability being placed on developers is on the surface pretty intuitive. If a developer makes an app that guides clinicians through the PALS algorithm and there is a mistake in that app which leads to patient harm, the developer may share some liability. But if its established that these kinds of apps are medical tools that fall under FDA and other federal regulations, it will be the responsibility of the developer to ensure compliance. Apple, through this agreement, absolves itself of the responsibility of screening apps during the approval process for whatever compliance is necessary. And for anyone that has ever dealt with federal regulations, even through institutional review boards, that can be incredibly difficult territory to navigate. Should this become an actual responsibility of developers, it could force all but the largest developers out of the community.

Patrí medzi vášho dôveryhodného priateľa aj Google? Keď ste si na túto otázku odpovedali, môžete čítať ďalej. Príbeh práve začína:

Just a few years ago, my father suffered a minor heart attack and was sent to the ER. I arrived on the scene in a panic, and was asked what medications he was taking. To my surprise, I had no clue. If my father had a Google Health account, and had shared his profile with me, I would have been up-to-date on his current medications.

I’m happy to announce today Google Health has addressed this issue with the release of a new „Share this profile“ feature enabling Google Health users to invite others they trust (whether it’s a family member, a trusted care network provider, friends, and/or a doctor) to view their medical records and personal health information.
