Join this course to gain a solid understanding of the legislative landscape, enabling you to shape your use cases and secure a prosperous future for your AI initiatives.
It is challenging to keep up with the rapidly changing regulations applicable to AI-based medical devices. Many AI providers face regulatory, implementation, and investment uncertainties, particularly for advanced use cases like dynamic task specification, grounded reporting, and patient chatbots.
In the second part, participants will delve into the intricate world of the European AI Act and its impact on the medical device domain. They will gain insight into the geopolitical forces and better understand their relation with and impact on other AI legislations worldwide.
The AI Act qualifies many AI systems for medical devices as 'high-risk AI systems', mandating stringent criteria related to human oversight, safety, fundamental rights, robustness, and accessibility before entering the Union market. Our course leader will demystify the European AI Act, shedding light on its complex interplay with existing medical device regulations. Participants will gain insights empowering them to implement the Act, secure their portfolios, and gain a significant competitive edge in the evolving landscape of AI-based medical devices.
By the end of this course, participants will emerge enlightened about the profound impact of the European AI Act on the medical device industry, including its areas of consensus and ongoing debates, equipped with practical insights to navigate the regulatory landscape.
This course is part of our Regulatory Affairs Training course collection, which features updates on the latest regulations to registration procedures and strategies.
