I’ve been hearing more and more about how artificial intelligence and machine learning will revolutionize healthcare profoundly. One of the most promising applications is in medical diagnostics, where AI-powered image analysis can detect patterns and anomalies with unprecedented accuracy and speed. I recently looked into this and found quite a few are already on the market.

According to the FDA, at least 950 AI-enabled medical devices have received regulatory approval and are being deployed in clinical settings. From AI-assisted radiology tools to smart health monitoring systems, this is just the beginning. Industry analysts project exponential growth in AI healthcare applications over the next decade. Hopefully, AI can deliver on more accurate, efficient, and accessible medical care for patients.

Here is more information on this trend:

• The FDA has created a list of 950 AI/ML-enabled medical devices marketed in the U.S. for public resources and awareness.
• Devices on the list have passed the FDA’s premarket requirements, focusing on safety, effectiveness, and appropriate study diversity.
• The list includes details derived from:
  • Public-facing summaries
  • AI/ML-specific product codes
  • Information from publicly available resources and manufacturers
• This list is not exhaustive; it includes devices incorporating AI/ML from various medical disciplines based on marketing authorization summaries.
