Establishment of expert group on Artificial Intelligence and Medical Devices

The goal is to connect different parties from different perspectives. An online information session will be held on Thursday, March 11, 2021, from 10 a.m. to noon.

In 2021, the new European legislation and regulations for medical devices, Medical Device Regulation (MDR), will finally come into force. For medical devices using AI, this raises a number of major issues. For example, clinical research, clinical validation, use of data, algorithm bias, interoperability, trust in AI, privacy and ethics.

Expert Group on AI and Medical Devices
NEN aims to bring the various initiatives and solutions together in 2021 by establishing an expert group on AI and Medical Devices. This expert group aims to connect experts, organizations, institutions and initiatives from all perspectives. A platform is provided where (international) knowledge and experiences on AI and medical devices come together.

Discussions in the sector show a strong need for an overview of the various initiatives at the national, European and international levels. And a need for Dutch experts to also be part of the international network. The issue turns out to be a challenge, where connecting both initiatives and experts proves to be important.

Information meeting
Connecting experts and initiatives starts with an information meeting. On Thursday, March 11, 2021, from 10 a.m. to noon, an online meeting will take place in which various presentations will explain the expert group. In addition, participants will discuss the scope and objectives for now and for the coming period. In this meeting, NEN will address questions about planning, establishment and its own role in this initiative.

Registration for this meeting is possible until March 9, 2021 via NEN Events.
