New Digital Pathology Validation Guidance

Log entry documenting what I am studying or shipping right now. Notes are drafts for discussion, not formal announcements.

Guideline Source
  • regulation
  • validation

What Happened

The FDA and College of American Pathologists expanded their guidance on evaluating digital pathology systems, focusing on reader study design and AI-assisted workflows.

Key Points

  • Emphasises prospective reader studies with balanced case mixes.
  • Requires documentation of algorithm drift monitoring and revalidation triggers.
  • Aligns quality metrics with CLIA expectations for primary diagnosis.

Why This Matters

Helps me align the learning path and project validation checklists with current regulatory expectations. I will adapt the technical notes on AI evaluation to incorporate the new monitoring recommendations.
