The current trend of using AI and ML is even finding its way into medical devices. Recently, the FDA issued a press release about the potential of AI and ML to fundamentally transform the delivery of health care. \n\nThis episode\u2019s guest is Mike Drues of Vascular Sciences, who joins Jon Speer to discuss nuances, regulations, and implications to know when incorporating AI and/or ML into medical devices and software.\n\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n \n\u25cf\tIs FDA\u2019s statement about AI and ML simply marketing hype? Other medical devices have the same opportunity, even if AI and ML are not used.\n\u25cf\tMost medical devices are 510(k)s and may already have such potential, if substantially equivalent to a device that currently exists.\n\u25cf\tThe FDA is basically proposing the use of AI and ML to make companies be more proactive with product improvements that help patients.\n\u25cf\tThe difference between AI, ML, and other technologies is that AI and ML have ability to learn, adapt, and evolve; but may create quality and regulatory issues.\n\u25cf\tThe regulatory logic of AI is nothing new or different, but it hasn\u2019t caught up. How to do change management to learn and adapt needs to be offered \n\u25cf\tAI software should give manufacturers recommended changes, how they should be handled, and when to identify change creep.\n\u25cf\tDigital Health Software Pre-cert Program: Focuses on team, not device. Does this mean the FDA is moving away from 21 CFR Part 820 in favor of ISO 13485?\n\u25cf\tSoftware as a medical device (SaMD) companies considering AI and ML should follow FDA\u2019s proposed regulatory framework for AI- and ML-driven software.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/6916cab6-0b1f-4610-8c11-edc78f0f1dfa/b1d2b453-9be7-47b0-9c34-b6837591516e.jpg"}
