How do we know these are perfectly functioning devices? The average person wouldn't read studies and documentation or ascertain the quality - I barely can and check HN comments for many medical studies :) FDA approval is a very strong signal at least.
I'd rather avoid the supplements situation where manufacturers can essentially claim almost anything and most of the population isn't aware that it's a free-for-all. Manufacturers can still claim some function but at least there's currently a disclaimer that makes average people question some claims.
I don't really love the mix of deregulation and healthcare (even adjecent, see supplements).
- abawany 6y agoI like this person's rather thorough reviews of device accuracy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChNWxrTlmh4IRSevon1X93g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChNWxrTlmh4IRSevon1X93g but you are right, the ambiguity is bothersome.
- vmception 6y ago> FDA approval is a very strong signal at least. FDA approvals of medical devices essentially breaks the software update system. So one of my possibilities was tweaking how thats done on devices. People seemed to decide to disagree on my post based on whichever possibility they didn't like, and ignored the possibility they wanted to discuss.
