We understand the importance and value of accessible, quality health care when, how, and where it is needed.

Our mission is to help healthcare providers, legal and regulatory professionals, and policymakers navigate the complex legal and regulatory landscape of digital health, in the areas of telehealth, remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, and future technologies.

Since 1995, we have been at the forefront of digital health policy, advocating for policies and initiatives that promote access, equity, and safety in technology-enabled healthcare. Our team of legal and regulatory experts conduct research and analysis on digital health laws, regulations, and policies, both in the U.S. and internationally. We provide our members with the latest information and insights on licensing, reimbursement, privacy, and other issues that affect the adoption and implementation of digital health solutions.

At CTeL, we believe that technology has the power to transform healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes.

That's why we work to develop policies, initiatives, and best practices that benefit our members and the broader healthcare community.
