Medical Device Product Liability and the Rise of Digital Health/Artificial Intelligence

Webinar Series | Medical Device Discussion

February 12, 2020

Arnold & Porter Webinar

By Julie B. du Pont Jacqueline Mulryne Angela R. Vicari Adela Williams

Digital health technologies, including tools incorporating artificial intelligence, are rapidly becoming an important part of drug development and marketing strategies, as well as part of the pharmacovigilance, marketing, and disease diagnosis processes. These tools, which range from relatively simple mobile apps to highly sophisticated systems generating their own hypotheses and suggested solutions, present important opportunities to improve patient care. However, they also introduce new liability risks given the potential for inaccuracies and quality problems, limitations on the ability to step-in as AI systems evolve new capabilities, weaknesses that may skew AI machine learning and data, and the impact on the role of the learned intermediary. This webinar focused on ensuring that product liability counsel understand the implications of these technologies and can manage these changes to minimize future product liability.
