But from the landing page: An individual's data can help adjust their medications, change eating patterns and maximize sleep schedules. That sounds like it's being used to guide treatment.

You're right. I think it would be in the developers best interest to let the user make that call, instead of explicitly advertising it.

  Changed the wording. So it explicitly stated a user would use the data vs us recommending

    Probably not sufficient. The patient is still using it to guide medical decisions. It would be worthwhile to speak to someone familiar with Canadian medical regulations.

      I suspect you're right, but doesn't a weight scale help you make medical decisions too? Is that a medical device?
      - mcmancini 12y ago
        For US market, a scale is a Class 1 medical device.

What if we dont recommend treatment...more so utilizing the analytics they dont track. We wouldn't recommend, every case is different. That is between the user and their medical professional

  I would guess that collecting data in this case could still fall under regulatory preview, and that you would also need to qualify your sensors (Pebble) too. It really would be best to speak to someone familiar with Canadian medical device data. Much cheaper to do things right from the start (e.g., develop under IEC 62304) than to fix things later after getting a nasty gram from the Canadian FDA equivalent. Maybe through very careful marketing you can work around potential problems, or maybe not. I think that this project is in an area that requires an expert opinion, however.
