«As we all know, our healthcare industry is in the midst of a digital transformation.

«Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in SaMD (software as a medical device): While AI and ML are often used interchangeably, AI is the development of intelligent computer programs while ML is an AI technique used to design and train software to act on data continuously.

Examples are software trained to detect cancers in radiology applications or software used for surgical planning with an AI (or ML) assist.»
