Summary
AI medical device safety requires integrated risk management. Current frameworks are fragmented, necessitating a unified governance model for AI-specific hazards and regulatory compliance.
Area of Science:
- Medical Device Safety
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Regulatory Science
Background:
- AI-enabled medical devices present unique, data-dependent risks.
- Existing safety frameworks (ISO 14971, AAMI CR34971, EU AI Act) are fragmented for AI governance.
- A gap exists in unified approaches to AI-specific safety-risk management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine conceptual and operational gaps in current AI safety-risk management.
- To propose an integrated governance model for AI-specific safety-risk management.
- To enhance the safety and governance of AI-enabled medical devices.
Main Methods:
- Structured narrative review of literature and regulatory documents.
- Searches conducted in PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, and regulatory repositories.
- Synthesis of 19 studies and regulatory sources using JBI, AACODS, and normative appraisal.
Main Results:
- Identified challenges in linking AI hazards to risk evaluation and control adequacy.
- Highlighted difficulties in integrating AI risk obligations with ISO 14971.
- Found existing frameworks address AI risk components but lack a unified operational pathway.
Conclusions:
- An integrated governance model is proposed to align AI risk identification with medical device safety frameworks.
- This model offers a clearer, actionable approach for managing AI-related safety risks.
- Aims to support regulators, manufacturers, and professionals in AI medical device safety.

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Ethical Dilemmas II
Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:
Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
