Navigating HIPAA, FDA, and GDPR regulations for AI in healthcare

Healthcare AI Compliance Checklist

An interactive checklist designed for healthcare AI practitioners and compliance officers to assess alignment with HIPAA, FDA, and GDPR requirements, facilitating informed decision-making on AI deployment and risk management.

Healthcare organizations deploying AI face complex regulatory environments. HIPAA governs patient data privacy in the US, the FDA regulates AI as a medical device, and GDPR addresses data protection for EU citizens. This interactive checklist helps specialists verify adherence to these frameworks.

Use this tool to systematically assess compliance status across relevant regulations, supporting risk mitigation and audit readiness. The final report provides tailored next steps based on your inputs.

Inputs

Have you conducted a formal HIPAA risk assessment for your AI system?

HIPAA requires regular risk assessments as a foundational control.

Is all Protected Health Information (PHI) used by your AI encrypted at rest and in transit?

Encrypting PHI mitigates risk of unauthorized disclosure under HIPAA.

Has your AI software undergone FDA premarket review or clearance where applicable?

FDA requires review for AI software classified as medical devices.

Does your AI development follow FDA Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP) guidelines?

GMLP covers data management, transparency, and monitoring.

Do you have a documented legal basis under GDPR for processing personal data with AI?

GDPR requires lawful grounds such as consent or legitimate interest.

Have you completed a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for AI data processing?

DPIAs identify and mitigate risks to data subjects.

Are mechanisms in place to support patient rights requests (e.g., access, deletion) under HIPAA and GDPR?

Systems must allow patients to exercise rights related to their personal data.
