Leading health sector organisations have come together to launch a new online service designed to help the NHS and wider partners fully leverage the latest digital and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations.
The website centralises contemporary regulatory information for both developers and adopters as well as specialist support from the organisations running the service.
These include the:
- National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
- Care Quality Commission
- Health Research Authority
- Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
Since the service features information from each organisation, the website provides users with extensive amounts of guidance and advice for each stage of the adoption pathway.
The AI and Digital Regulations Service for health and social care also allows users to get bespoke advice from service partners if they submit individual enquiries.
“This crucial service couldn’t come at a better time as discussions about regulating AI are progressing rapidly,” said NHS England’s director of AI, imaging and deployment, Dominic Cushnan.
“The NHS AI Lab brought the regulatory agencies together to clarify and simplify the developer and adopter journey so we can support the NHS to embed the most effective digital technologies within clinical pathways and enable best practice so these tools are used safely and effectively."
Head of data and AI programmes at the Health Research Authority, Zoher Kapacee, added: "The AI and Digital Regulations Service will make it easier than ever for innovators to find out what they need to do to develop their ideas in line with the latest regulatory requirements."
