📝 The EU does not have one framework for early-stage #medicaldevice clinical trials, it has 27. Check out our recent paper in @natbiomedeng.nature.com, in which we critically review EU regulations and call for harmonization: rdcu.be/fw2pk #MDR #digitalhealth #medicalAI

EU’s fragmented early-stage medical device study requirements need reform

🇪🇺 Big news: This fall, my lab will transition to @tudresden.bsky.social. Our affiliations will be with the Department of Surgery at the university hospital and @ekfzdigital.bsky.social, and we will continue our mission to rigorously develop, benchmark, and clinically evaluate #surgicalAI tools.

A new study introduces a decentralized, privacy-preserving pipeline that combines weakly supervised deep learning with Swarm Learning to predict patient-level labels from laparoscopic appendectomy videos. Learn more about this approach: https://nejm.ai/44Ap0V9

Privacy-Preserving Surgical Video Analysis with Swarm Learning — Results from a Multinational Appendectomy Cohort

Progress in artificial intelligence (AI)–based analysis of surgical videos has been constrained by reliance on manual frame-level annotations rather than patient-level outcomes. In addition, concer...

📢 @fionakolbinger.bsky.social and @jnkt.bsky.social characterize the discordance between metrics used to evaluate AI tools and their clinical impact, proposing a framework to reduce this disconnect. www.nature.com/articles/s43... @tudresden.bsky.social @ekfzdigital.bsky.social 🔓 rdcu.be/eQmQp

It's not just academia that will be affected by the disruptions to research funding https://go.nature.com/4noApj5
