In parallel, AI medical tools are being evaluated with more structured prospective designs, reflecting the broader drive to reduce “lab-only” performance claims. For biotech leaders, the common thread is that adoption and approval increasingly depend on defensible methodology, validation, and compliance—not just scientific novelty.
