The use of telehealth was broadly expanded throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure uninterrupted care for patients, including those with chronic conditions. Many provisions for the use of telehealth were created as part of the government-enacted Public Health Emergency (PHE) to increase the ease of adoption and use of telehealth. As we approach the end of the PHE, effective May 11, 2023, some of these flexibilities will expire in the months to come.

As the AMA celebrates Women in Medicine Month, PIN will be highlighting innovations that promote access and overall well-being for patients who identify as women. 

In collaboration with MedTech Color, the American Medical Association’s Physician Innovation Network (PIN) is exploring how women have historically been underrepresented in clinical research and asks leading experts how might the industry improve our thinking about evidence and technology, remove the barriers that prevent women of color from participating in clinical trials, and support the innovations that provide female founders with the resources and funding to make more solutions available for women’s health.
