What's inside

Five pages, zero fluff

Every figure in this guide traces to a named source — verified 2026 publications.

The wellness line

The wellness line: the Jan 2026 FDA guidances and where claims flip a wearable into a device.

The reimbursement math

The reimbursement math: new 2026 CPT codes, the 2.5% factor increase, and the ACCESS model.

The EU stack

The EU stack: MDR Class IIa/IIb, §524B cybersecurity, and the AI Act for high-risk algorithms.
