This pathway is for data scientists, machine learning engineers and software developers who build AI tools for healthcare. It starts with the clinical problem and the people affected, because choices made there (what to predict, for whom, from which data) limit what any model can achieve later. It then follows your work through data, modelling, documentation and testing.

Suggested reading order

  1. The AI lifecycle in healthcare

  2. The FUTURE-AI framework

  3. Design: problem definition and scoping

  4. Design: stakeholder engagement

  5. Design: identifying sources of bias

  6. Development: data collection and management

  7. Development: data quality and fairness

  8. Development: privacy and security

  9. Development: model development

  10. Development: documentation

  11. Evaluation: evaluation planning

  12. Evaluation: fairness and bias assessment

  13. Evaluation: robustness testing

  14. Evaluation: reporting and transparency

  15. FUTURE-AI principles

If your tool will be used outside the hospital that built it, also read Design: legal and regulatory considerations early. Whether the software counts as a medical device decides much of the documentation you will need to produce.
