Cambridge explores AI to cut regulatory paperwork for medical AI software
lawrennd · x · 2026-09-26
A University of Cambridge ai@cam blog examines whether AI can lower regulatory barriers for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). About two dozen SaMD projects are underway across Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, from CT-based tumor detection to heart-rhythm monitoring. These tools require extensive controlled documentation spanning quality management, clinical evaluation, and cybersecurity — often demanding expertise beyond researchers' domains and expensive external regulatory support. The initiative explores using AI to streamline this document-heavy compliance process.
