What this page draws on for healthcare compliance.
Organisations in healthcare face AI obligations that generic templates don’t cover — clinical-safety duties, medical-device conformity assessment, and patient-data protection, data protection expectations for the populations you serve, and emerging AI-specific legislation. Blanket policies written for software companies miss most of what matters.
The AI Governance Dashboard produces a board-ready AI governance programme with org chart, RACI, KPIs, and 90-day roadmap tailored to your jurisdiction, risk appetite, and the specifics of healthcare. It is a drafting aid built to accelerate — not replace — qualified review by your in-house practitioners or external counsel.
The Governance Dashboard ships a board-ready programme with 12 KPIs, RACI matrix, and a 90-day roadmap — sized to the governance maturity that's realistic for a healthcare organisation today.
In healthcare, the two AI risks most directly within the AI Governance Dashboard's remit are “AI Diagnostic Error Causing Delayed or Incorrect Treatment” and “Demographic Bias Producing Disparate Clinical Outcomes Across Patient Groups”. Both are surfaced in the canonical sector overlay we ship as healthcare primary evidence — not generic AI risks dressed up with sector vocabulary.
The AI Governance Dashboard produces a board-ready AI governance programme with org chart, RACI, KPIs, and 90-day roadmap that addresses these risks head-on, pre-aligned to the regulators most active in healthcare, and structured so your in-house practitioners can adapt rather than start from a blank page. The output is an AI-assisted draft intended for review by qualified healthcare practitioners before adoption.
Drawn from published evidence and regulatory guidance specific to healthcare. Each is pre-scored on a 5×5 likelihood × impact matrix in the Risk Register tool and referenced in the generated policy.
An AI diagnostic or clinical decision support system produces an incorrect output — a missed malignancy, contraindicated drug recommendation, or false-negative screening result — that a clinician acts upon without sufficient independent verification, causing delayed, omitted, or incorrect treatment and direct patient harm.
AI systems trained on historically unrepresentative datasets produce systematically less accurate outputs for underrepresented populations — including women, Black, Asian, and minority ethnic patients, elderly individuals, and patients with disabilities — leading to inequitable diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification, and treatment recommendations that perpetuate existing health disparities.
A clinical AI model validated at deployment progressively deteriorates in real-world performance due to changes in patient population demographics, clinical workflows, disease prevalence, or medical imaging equipment, without the degradation being detected through post-market monitoring, resulting in a sustained period of substandard AI-assisted clinical care.
Clinical staff accept AI recommendations without applying adequate independent clinical judgment — particularly in high-volume settings using AI for triage or worklist prioritisation — resulting in systematic failures to catch AI errors that a vigilant clinician would have identified, and misallocation of clinical attention toward AI-flagged cases at the expense of AI-missed cases.
A healthcare AI system is trained or fine-tuned on patient health records, diagnostic images, or genomic data without adequate legal basis under GDPR Article 9 or HIPAA — for example by treating routine clinical data as available for commercial AI training without explicit consent — exposing the organisation to regulatory enforcement, patient trust damage, and potential criminal liability.
Large language model-based AI tools used for clinical documentation, patient communication, or treatment protocol retrieval generate plausible-sounding but factually incorrect medical information — including fabricated drug interactions, incorrect dosage guidance, or invented clinical evidence — that enters the clinical record or influences treatment without being identified as erroneous.
Outputs support, rather than replace, the qualified practitioners in your healthcare team. Human review is treated as a core step, not a rubber stamp.
Before any AI system is acted on in healthcare, it is tested in the specific population, workflow, and risk context of your organisation — not just in a vendor's demo environment.
Outputs carry enough context — regulatory references, assumptions, known limitations — that a reviewer in healthcare can trace and challenge them.
Named roles — named individuals, named committees — are accountable for the AI decisions that affect people in your healthcare organisation.
Performance is reviewed across the demographic groups your healthcare organisation actually serves, not just a representative-of-the-dataset average.
Pick jurisdiction, industry, and risk appetite.
Under a minute of structured questions.
AI produces your jurisdiction-specific document in under five minutes.
Qualified review, then download as .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx.
You describe your organisation — jurisdiction, industry, staff size, risk appetite, AI tools currently in use — and answer an 8-question self-assessment covering Structure (governance body + RACI), Foundations (AI tool register + AI usage policy), Operational (KPI tracking + training programme), and Assurance (board reporting + policy/audit schedule). The tool produces a complete, structured governance programme tailored to that context, sized to your maturity stage, and ready for board / leadership review.
The Executive Summary Word document is a one-page sign-off artefact for board / exec review with three visual charts. The PowerPoint board pack is a 7-slide deck designed to drop straight into your next leadership meeting deck without modification. The Excel workbook is the working operational instrument that lives with the AI Governance Champion: assign owners on the RACI sheet, track 90-day roadmap actions, set Current Baseline values on the 12 KPIs, populate the quarterly Board Report template, and watch the live Dashboard radar + doughnut refresh as you make progress. All three artefacts are AI-assisted drafting aids intended to accelerate review by qualified governance, compliance, and sector-regulatory practitioners — not replace them.
The output is a draft calibrated to healthcare — it still requires review by qualified in-house or external practitioners before adoption.
Selected obligations the tool’s output references for healthcare. This is not a complete statement of your legal obligations — qualified counsel should verify applicability in your jurisdiction and context.
EU
AI systems intended to be used as safety components of medical devices regulated under EU MDR 2017/745 and IVDR 2017/746 are classified as high-risk under EU AI Act Annex III §1, capturing AI-powered diagnostics, clinical decision support, predictive risk scoring, AI-driven drug dosing, and any AI embedded in a regulated medical device.
EU
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 governs all medical devices placed on the EU market, including software that qualifies as a medical device (SaMD). Under MDCG 2019-11 guidance, AI/ML software intended to diagnose, prevent, monitor, predict, prognose, treat, or alleviate disease typically qualifies as SaMD requiring CE marking.
EU
Regulation (EU) 2017/746 governs IVD medical devices, including AI software used to analyse diagnostic specimens such as digital pathology slides, genomic sequencing outputs, and laboratory test results. AI-powered digital pathology tools and AI interpreting laboratory data for clinical purposes are captured under this regulation.
US
The FDA regulates AI/ML-based SaMD in the United States through its 510(k), De Novo, and PMA pathways. FDA's 2023 Marketing Submission Recommendations and Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) framework govern how AI medical software is reviewed, approved, and updated post-market.
Every output is an editable draft. Every section carries the regulatory basis it was built from, so reviewers in your healthcare team can verify, challenge, and adapt it to local context. Nothing is a finished legal instrument; nothing is intended to bypass qualified review.
We publish explicit disclaimers in the generated documents themselves, and treat human oversight as a default — not an opt-in. The tool’s role is to reduce the time your qualified practitioners spend on the first draft, so they can focus on review and adaptation.

26 regulations across 8 jurisdictions. This list is descriptive, not exhaustive, and is subject to change — verify applicability with qualified counsel before relying on any reference.
Yes. Healthcare outputs reference EU MDR 2017/745, FDA AI/ML-based SaMD guidance, IEC 62304, and the UK MHRA AI SaMD Change Programme. The output is a draft that requires review by a qualified regulatory-affairs professional and your Clinical Safety Officer where DCB0160 applies.
The output references HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules (45 CFR Parts 160/162/164), Business Associate Agreement obligations for AI vendors handling PHI, and breach-notification timelines. It is a starting-point draft, not a HIPAA risk assessment — consult your Privacy Officer.
No. The tool generates governance documents that reference DCB0160 obligations, but the clinical safety case itself must be authored and signed off by a registered Clinical Safety Officer per NHS England requirements. Use the output to scaffold your governance framework around the safety case.
The Risk Register surfaces AI fairness risks including under-representation of minority groups in training data, performance degradation on out-of-distribution patient cohorts, and disparate clinical-decision support outputs. WHO 2021 health-AI ethics guidance is referenced for testing in deployment populations.
Yes. EU pathway references MDR/IVDR + EU AI Act Annex III. UK pathway references the MHRA Software and AI as a Medical Device Change Programme, UK MDR 2002 (as amended), and the EU-Switzerland MRA suspension affecting some Notified Body certificates.
