Health regulators get new tools to track AI medical devices as they learn

Researchers have developed three new ways to measure how well AI medical devices learn and adapt. This helps health regulators assess the safety and effectiveness of devices that constantly update themselves.

AI medical devices are designed to keep learning and changing after they are approved. This makes it hard for health regulators to know if they remain safe and effective over time. These new measurements offer a way to track how these devices perform as they adapt, rather than just at the moment of approval.
