First Prescription App for Substance Abuse Approved by FDA
- asimpletune 9y agoI wonder how much the app will cost
- sulizilxia 9y agoThe prescription-only aspect of this is really depressing to me. This is not the road we should be going down.
- vivekd 9y agoJonathan Bricker makes an excellent point - since the app has no risks of side effects why bother making it prescription only?
- trhway 9y agoi guess making it prescription only would make insurance pay for it, thus the app maker can charge something like say several hundred dollars instead of $2.99 if it was an openly available app.
- axonic 9y agoSo... Next, when I write a similar app now it will be classified as some kind of "medical" app and be barred from distribution without a prescription and the years of paying off the FDA for approval? To protect profits of Big Pharma Apps huh? Is this where we're headed?
