Lacktman and Aaron T. Maguregui Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring companies often want to maintain open communication channels with patients, whether it be scheduling, medication reminders, engagement pings, or even new product and service updates.

Digital health entrepreneurs can use these tools, but should be aware of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). This article shares some TCPA ideas that telemedicine and remote patient monitoring companies can consider incorporating into their software product design and user interface development. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/healthcare/1044578/telemedicine-and-texting-telephone-consumer-protection-act?email_access=on
