Abstract

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical devices and services promises significant improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. This article reviews current payment pathways for AI medical technology and the regulatory issues affecting both technology development and practical use by physicians; it discusses the need for data privacy, security, and transparency in AI. The Food and Drug Administration's regulations aim to balance safety, efficacy, and innovation encouraging research and collaboration with stakeholders. Effective regulation and reimbursement strategies are essential for the successful adoption of AI in health care, ensuring improved patient care and trust in these technologies.
