The FDA is considering a shift to a competency-based framework for evaluating generative AI-enabled medical devices, focusing on ongoing performance assessments rather than single-point safety and efficacy reviews.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to prepare for a regulatory environment where AI medical devices face continuous compliance checks instead of one-off clearances. This opens opportunities for faster innovation cycles but demands robust ongoing performance tracking.
