"Can it work?" — that's EVT.
"Will it last?" — that's DVT.

@SecureOwl to be serious, some folks would love to run different software or just have better access to device metrics. For a bunch of reasons, including liability, manufacturers makes that difficult to near impossible to do.

#MedicalDevices

How do we finally move #AI from the lab into clinical routine? Here are the key takeaways from @danielsteinbach talk at #MLK2026

▶️ We need real-world metrics like the Precision-Recall curve on clinical application cohorts, not just on training data.

▶️With its data affinity and cross-disciplinary perspective, laboratory medicine is perfectly positioned to lead #ClinicalAI.

▶️With the innovative AMPEL platform, we aim to bridge the (massive!) #EvidenceGap for AI #MedicalDevices.
