Learn in just one day how to use large language models (LLMs) specifically in developing medical devices – from the initial idea to post-market surveillance.
This practical workshop with product expert Mario Klessascheck and regulatory and AI expert Prof. Dr. Christian Johner will teach you specific methods that will enable you to drastically reduce the time needed to develop and document your medical devices while remaining compliant with the law.
You will learn how to use LLMs as brainstorming partners, development engineers, and reviewers for every development document, from requirements specifications to instructions for use. You will also understand the limitations of AI, enabling you to make informed decisions about where human expertise remains indispensable and where AI can provide optimal support.
“A lot of content conveyed in a compact way. Good level, from a rough overview to specific examples. Exercises provide insight into how things could actually work.”
“Clear examples and lots of useful knowledge. Presented by people who absolutely understand what they are doing.”
In hands-on exercises, you will use your familiar terminology to work on specific medical device through all life cycle phases. You will leave the workshop with practical experience and be able to apply what you have learned directly to your devices – without any transfer effort.
The practical workshop teaches you the methodology you need to independently evaluate and establish the use of AI. You will benefit from exchanging experiences with other companies, be able to pass on your knowledge to your colleagues, and become a valued driver of digital transformation.
You will learn how to use large language models in accordance with MDR, IVDR, ISO 13485, and the AI Act, thereby meeting all regulatory requirements. With this knowledge, you can feel confident during your next audit and confidently refute objections from authorities and notified bodies – no more fear of non-conformities.
