AI/ ML will revolutionize medicine by making diagnosis and treatment more accessible and more effective. FDA has regulated medical device software by means of regulation and guidance for years, however, AI/ML programs fall outside the scope of these regulations and guidance. This happens because FDA approves the final, validated version of the software. The point of AI/ML is to learn and update the following deployment using real-world data to improve performance. Thus the field version of the software is no longer the validated approved version.

This training will address the current regulatory requirements, how they don’t control AI/ML adequately, and approaches FDA is considering for regulation in the near future. Development personnel should understand these concepts because, with some modifications, they will become regulations.

It is not clear how to get AI/ML programs approved. Following a discussion of possible future regulation, we will discuss, based on recently approved De Novo applications, how to get your AI/ML program approved now.

Necessary submission documentation will be explained.
