"Data Integrity" is an item which has garnered FDA and industry attention over the past year. This buzz-word first received notoriety with respect to the inspection of laboratories based on their implementation of computerized systems having the ability to generate records with no apparent means of traceability. In recent years, however, concerns about falsification of records due to the lack of ability to verify data entries has expanded to all areas of FDA regulated operations.
openFDA: Open-source APIs for FDA Drug, Device, and Food Data

Project Manager, Protocol Link
In case you missed it, the FDA launched openFDA in Beta mode in June of 2014, and it seems to be very well received. The public portal was developed by the FDA to create open access to public data and allow for that data to be easily used by developers in applications. The site was designed to be an open system and was built using open source software and standards.
In the digital age, consumers are increasingly using technology such as mobile apps on smartphones and wearable sensors to monitor health. This area of healthcare, called digital medicine, is rapidly expanding with technologies that will revolutionize the way we identify, diagnose, monitor and treat health conditions.
