Healthcare AI Compliance: What Startups Need to Know

Healthcare AI is transforming patient care, but regulatory compliance can make or break your product. This guide covers the essential requirements every healthcare AI startup must understand.

Key Compliance Frameworks

Healthcare AI products typically need to address three main regulatory areas:

• HIPAA - Protecting patient health information
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 - Electronic records and signatures
• SOC 2 - Security and availability controls

Security Audit Best Practices

Before deploying any healthcare AI system, conduct thorough security audits covering:

• Authentication and access control
• Data encryption (at rest and in transit)
• Audit logging and monitoring
• Dependency vulnerability scanning
