OP is probably talking about the legality of American hospitals using this software in an official capacity like some Chinese hospitals seem to be doing.

I'm completely unfamiliar, but it wouldn't surprise me if for diagnosing? software like this to be used in an official medical capacity in America it would need to go through some sort of particular vetting process because if it isn't it might leave hospitals who use it open to lawsuits.

that would be a potential YC idea. A company that enables smaller groups to do clinical research w/o needing an army of people to wade through the regulatory red tape. That also isn't in and of itself a giant predatory CRO type organization.

that's literally what pharma is now- companies that exist to help smaller groups get their research through the clinical and approval process. It would be hard to buidl that level of expertise in a smaller company.
