Note also that NICE has introduced a new advisory service for AI developers and adopters

Developers and adopters of data-driven technologies such as AI are invited to help shape a new advisory service, tailored to their product development or commissioning needs. The service will be delivered by NICE, MHRA, CQC and HRA and is funded by our NHS AI Lab.

 

The collaborative approach to this new advisory service will provide its users with comprehensive advice from across the digital health ecosystem. It aims to provide clarity on the regulation, evaluation and adoption pathways and policies associated with data-driven technologies such as AI, in the health and care system – making pathways easier to follow and expectations clearer for all.

If you anticipate becoming a future user of the new advisory service, right now is your opportunity to help shape the service design.  Learn more and register your interest today

User research sessions will run at various stages throughout the project’s development cycle until March 2023.
