Software programmes employed as medical devices

Abstract

The opportunity to successfully develop and roll out patient-centric digital health platforms is represented by Software as a medical device (SaMD).Software is now a crucial component of all products and is widely integrated into digital platforms that are used for medical purposes as technology in all areas of health care continues to progress. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a potent and currently evolving technology that has the potential to enhance capabilities in a wide range of sectors. Medical device companies have been fascinated in artificial intelligence. Nowadays Artificial intelligence based medical devices are gaining a lot of attention. Artificial intelligence-enabled medical devices have the potential to completely transform the way that healthcare is provided by enabling physicians to diagnose and treat their patients more precisely and successfully while also enhancing their overall level of care. The three primary objectives of the medical devices that are incorporated with AI are being developed by medical device companies as technology progresses are chronic disease management, medical imaging and Internet of Things (IoT). Quite apart from its advantages, artificial intelligence in medical devices also has drawbacks, such as the necessity for regulation to keep up with the rate of technological innovation. The softwares such as Eye Art and IDxDR for the identification of diabetic retinopathy, Quant X for breast abnormalities, Gleamer BoneView for fractures on X rays and software for the management of type 1 diabetes i.e., Dreamed Advisor Pro and as well as the AI-ECG platform are just a few instances of the artificial intelligence-infused software’s that are discussed in this article.
