NHS England has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) and digital regulations service for health and social care.
Through a multi-agency service, funded by the NHS AI Lab, it involves the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Health Research Authority (HRA), and Care Quality Commission (CQC), to support adopters and developers with guidance.
It aims to help innovators navigate the regulatory landscape, in which NHS England says “can at times be difficult to navigate, especially when they evolve as quickly as the technologies” therefore NHS England has funded the creation of this service.
The services brings together a central source of regulatory and best practice guidance related to AI and digital technology in health and social care, collated from various regulators and public bodies. It intends to support developers such as health tech companies, researchers from academia, NHS staff creating technologies, and data science companies.
