  • 1.  AI/ML integration into the SW development procedure

    Posted 22-Jul-2021 02:58
    Good morning everybody!

    Do you add any parts into a software development procedure that is based on IEC 62304 to cover AI/ML?
    My understanding is that the development process is the same but was not sure if there are specific parts that need to be integrated to cover it better.

    Thank you in advance
    Ella

    While the overall process is for the most part the same, there are several considerations during AI/ML algorithm implementation so it's probably a good idea to include additional detail, especially around data management for algorithm training, testing and validation.
    If I remember there are a few guidance documents and standards being developed that address specific requirements around design and development process of AI/ML, but don't remember specific references.

    Here's one I have handy that provides some guidance: https://github.com/johner-institut/ai-guideline/blob/master/Guideline-AI-Medical-Devices_EN.md

    Thank you very much!
    Indeed there are several guidelines but those are usually very high level.
    Have you had the chance to incorporate it into the SW development procedure?
