    ​Can a clinical trial be conducted on a smart phone app that is being developed to provide diagnostic results for patients prior to the app (software) being submitted to Health Canada (HC) or FDA for approval/validation? 

    Or will the app be required to be submitted to HC/FDA prior to being used/tested in a clinical trial?

    Thank you for your feedback asap.

    What is the objective of using the app in clinical trails? If you are trying to conduct a study using the app that you should follow the same practices as you would do for a medical device and get IDE to perform the clinical trials. Please provide additional information to be able to better answer the question.
