Independently authored guidance-support material.
Outputs
Topic summaries, checklists and practical governance framing for advisory conversations.
Why it matters
Shows I can translate dense governance requirements into usable decision support.

Context

AI-enabled medical technologies create a translation problem: a product may be technically interesting, but adoption depends on regulation, evidence standards, clinical safety, information governance, interoperability and monitoring after deployment.

My role

I authored the toolkit during my Health Innovation East placement. It was practical internal guidance-support material for innovation advisory work, not formal regulatory advice, legal advice or a substitute for specialist clinical-safety review.

Approach

I drew on official publications from regulatory and health-system sources, alongside learning from the East of England AI Forum, and translated the material into usable guidance for advisory contexts.

  • AI as a medical device and software as a medical device framing.
  • MHRA and UKCA regulatory awareness.
  • NICE evidence expectations and DTAC considerations.
  • DCB0129 and DCB0160 clinical safety awareness.
  • Information governance, data protection, interoperability, risk and post-market monitoring.

Selected outputs

  • Structured guidance-support material.
  • Topic summaries and practical explanatory sections.
  • Governance-aware framing for innovator support.
  • Checklists that helped turn broad AI/MedTech issues into more concrete questions.

What this shows

This work shows that I can turn a dense governance area into something other people can actually use. I translated regulation, evidence expectations, clinical safety, information governance, interoperability and post-market questions into practical guidance that made advisory conversations more structured and useful.
