World's First Evaluation Standards for AI Medical Devices Established… Opening a New Era of Healthcare
With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the medical field recently, establishing standards for its safe management has become increasingly important. In line with this trend, the world's first specific evaluation standards for AI medical devices have been enacted. This measure is considered an essential step to protect patient safety in pace with the speed of technological advancement.
The newly established evaluation standards focus on verifying the accuracy and reliability of decisions made by AI during diagnosis or treatment processes. Until now, AI medical devices have been difficult to evaluate because they possess characteristics different from conventional medical devices. Through these standards, it is expected that more AI technologies will be used safely in clinical settings in the future.
Meanwhile, as interest in health management grows, research into ingredients that help improve vascular health and cognitive function is also being actively conducted. In particular, experts from Korea and Japan have recently been focusing on the effects of ingredients such as policosanol on brain cognitive function, beyond just vascular health. These studies are expected to be of great help in preparing for an aging society.
The establishment of AI medical device evaluation standards and research into new health ingredients are both contributing to improving the quality of our lives. Many are paying close attention to the changes that the harmony between technology and medicine will bring in creating a healthier society.
