Next up for Medtech: Being Generative in Domain-Specific Languages

Given the vast amounts of data available, including raw measurements, diagnostic information, treatment plans, and regulatory guidelines, the biomedical technologies sector stands to gain immensely from artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML).

ML, at its core, learns from training datasets to identify patterns, which can then be applied to new input data to make direct inferences. For instance, if specific body scans frequently result in a particular diagnosis, ML can be used to quickly provide that diagnosis when similar scans are encountered, thus aiding in disease diagnosis.

FDA Issues Recommendations on Artificial Intelligence Software Functions

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a draft guidance intended to promote the development of safe and effective medical devices that use a type of artificial intelligence (AI) known as machine learning (ML). The draft guidance further develops FDA’s least burdensome regulatory approach for AI/ML-enabled device software functions (ML-DSFs), which aims to increase the pace of innovation while maintaining safety and effectiveness.

Computer Analytics May Substantially Reduce Risk of Surgical Infections

Infections caused by surgical procedures are not uncommon and can be life-threatening. If only there were a way to cut (pardon the pun) the incidence of such infections … But wait, Computerworld has just reported that the application of predictive analytics and machine learning techniques to real-time data from operating rooms at the University of Iowa Hospital had lowered the risk of surgical infections by a stunning 74 percent over a three-year period.  Continue reading “Computer Analytics May Substantially Reduce Risk of Surgical Infections”
