TITLE: STAT+: Rune Labs hires Tempus leader as CEO, plots expansion into Alzheimer’s

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/08/rune-labs-new-ceo-plots-alzheimers-expansion/?utm_campaign=rss

Digital health company Rune Labs, which helps people with Parkinson’s disease track their symptoms, said Thursday that it has appointed longtime Tempus executive Amy Gordon Franzen as CEO, and that the company plans to expand its technology to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions.

Brian Pepin, Rune’s co-founder and previous CEO, will stay on as president at the company, where he will lead development of its platform and partnerships with drug developers. Franzen was until recently a senior vice president at Tempus, a publicly traded company that offers data and analytics services to health care providers and life sciences companies.

Rune Labs has gained prominence for launching an Apple Watch-based tool to track symptoms of Parkinson’s disease that can help users and neurologists better manage the condition. Pepin said there are about 20,000 people active on the platform, which is used by customers like Kaiser Permanente for its Parkinson’s patients.

TITLE: STAT+: FDA proposes sweeping changes to oversight of wearables, AI-enabled devices

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/06/fda-pulls-back-oversight-ai-enabled-devices-wearables/?utm_campaign=rss

LAS VEGAS — The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it will ease regulation of digital health products, following through on the Trump administration’s promises to deregulate artificial intelligence and promote its widespread use.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary mentioned that one of the agency’s priorities is to foster an environment that’s good for investors, and that FDA regulation needs to move “at Silicon Valley speed,” while announcing the changes during an address to conference attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show.

The agency will soften its approach to the regulation of clinical decision support software, which include AI-enabled products that help doctors navigate diagnoses and treatment options. The agency previously considered products that delivered a single recommendation as FDA-regulated medical devices. Now, those products can enter the market without FDA review as long as they fulfill the agency’s other criteria for escaping regulation.

You’re reading the web edition of STAT’s Health Tech newsletter, our guide to how technology is transforming the life sciences. Sign up to get it delivered in your inbox every Tuesday and Thursday.

Katie Palmer writes: As drugmaker Novo Nordisk launched the pill version of its popular obesity medication Wegovy on Monday, it aimed to capture patients with a cash-pay discount — $149 a month for the lowest starting doses of the medication through April 15. It’s also trying to onboard new patients through an expanded roster of telehealth providers.

The drugmaker’s direct-to-consumer patient portal, NovoCare, now includes links to seven telehealth companies that can prescribe its medication. The site says the providers, including 9amHealth, eMed, Form Health, Knownwell, LifeMD, Ro, and Weight Watchers, “are recognized by Novo Nordisk for legitimate medicine sourcing and patient support,” but that the company “does not endorse these health care providers or organizations.”
