AI Systems as Medical Devices

AI-enabled medical devices are now being assessed through multiple overlapping lenses: medical device regulations (EU MDR/IVDR, FDA frameworks), emerging horizontal regulation (EU AI Act), and rapidly evolving expectations for clinical safety, lifecycle control, and transparency. This 3-day live online training focuses on what teams need to implement to build, document, and maintain AI systems that can withstand review — from defining intended purpose and classification, through design control and risk management, to QMS integration and post-market oversight. The sessions are designed for cross-functional alignment: regulatory, QA, clinical, design, and technical stakeholders leave with a shared view of terminology, responsibilities, and evidence expectations.
