Artificial intelligence in medical device software and high-risk medical devices: a review of definitions, expert recommendations and regulatory initiatives

Introduction. Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a wide range of algorithms with risks when used to support decisions about diagnosis or treatment, so professional and regulatory bodies are recommending how they should be managed. Areas covered. AI systems may qualify as standalone medical dev...

The draft EU Regulation on AI proposes rules that will apply across industry sectors, while for devices the Medical Device Regulation also applies.
