AI's Future : Saving Lives in Medical Devices

Miguel Adao discusses a future in which AI becomes more proactive and appears in physical, regulated settings such as medical devices. He sees medical imaging as a concrete area where AI could provide value, moving beyond prompt-based systems toward earlier warnings and decision support.

Adao says he believes AI may help distinguish concerning findings in X-rays, MRIs and mammograms, and predicts that some cancers could be resolved more effectively over the coming decade. These are his views about potential clinical applications, not evidence that a particular AI system is accurate, safe, approved or suitable for medical decisions.
