Machine Learning for Medical Devices
Medical devices containing a machine learning algorithmic component, e.g. for diagnosis, have a huge market and health potential. But getting the approval to sell a medical device is possible only after a thorough process of certification. For this, the particularities of statistical learning need to be taken into account as soon as possible in the device design. Otherwise, the risk of getting trapped in the certification process with suboptimal -viability killing- components is just too high. In this post we describe good practices for machine learning development and operationalization within medical devices, driven from our experience at PickleTech.
