  • Develop validation metrics (e.g., AUROC, precision-recall, false positive rates).
  • Conduct a prospective study to test predictive accuracy over time.
  • Implement clinician feedback loops to refine the AI model based on real-world usage.
  • Publish validation results in peer-reviewed journals for credibility.

5. Ethical, Regulatory & GDPR Compliance

  • Ensure AI models comply with the EU AI Act for medical applications.
  • Implement privacy-preserving AI techniques (Federated Learning, Differential Privacy).
  • Develop patient data anonymization pipelines before AI processing.
