Muireann Quigley, Laura Downey, and Louise Hatherall discuss how software as a medical device challenges regulatory frameworks around physical goods.

Some estimates suggest there are now hundreds of thousands of health-related apps available, while AI-enabled medical technologies continue to expand rapidly.
