This appointment comes at a time when the wearable health technology sector is experiencing significant growth and facing complex regulatory challenges. The distinction between “wellness” and “medical” devices is becoming increasingly blurred, with many over-the-counter tools operating in a regulatory grey zone without clinical validation.
