Health Discovery Corporation (MelApp)
Health Discovery Corporation, maker of the MelApp mobile application, entered into an FTC consent order in April 2015 under Matter No. 132-3211. The FTC alleged deceptive and misleading conduct related to health claims made for MelApp, which purportedly used image analysis to assess melanoma risk. The consent order resolved allegations of unsubstantiated health claims in the app's advertising and marketing. The matter was resolved through a Part 2 Consent, imposing ongoing compliance obligations on the company.
