Meet-Up #25: How to Clinically Validate LLMs
Join this event
About this event
Overview
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly entering healthcare products, clinical workflows, and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) solutions. While their potential is significant, demonstrating clinical performance, safety, and regulatory compliance remains a major challenge for manufacturers and regulators alike.
Questions continue to emerge around clinical validation methodologies, evidence generation, intended use, performance monitoring, transparency, and the application of existing regulatory frameworks to LLM-based medical devices.
This European SaMD Meetup session will focus on how organisations approach the clinical validation of LLMs, from regulatory strategy and market access considerations through to notified body expectations and practical implementation experiences.
The discussion is intended for professionals working across regulatory affairs, quality, software development, clinical affairs, AI governance, and digital health.
